* Peekaboo bug
* Guillotine bug
* Duplicate Character bug
* Border Chaos
* No Scroll bug
* 3 Pixel Text Jog
* Magic Creeping Text bug
* Bottom Margin bug on Hover
* Losing the ability to highlight text under the top border
* IE/Win Line-height bug
* Double Float Margin Bug
* Quirky Percentages in IE
* Duplicate indent
* Moving viewport scrollbar outside HTML borders
* 1 px border style
* Disappearing List-background
* Fix width:auto
In addition we’ve added support for the following
* HTML 4.01 ABBR tag
* Improved (though not yet perfect) <object> fallback
* CSS 2.1 Selector support (child, adjacent, attribute, first-child etc.)
* CSS 2.1 Fixed positioning
* Alpha channel in PNG images
* Fix :hover on all elements
* Background-attachment: fixed on all elements not just body
Is it normal for young vegetarians to have heart attacks? I think I’m having one!
I’m glad that they are
finally fixing some of these problems. Of course, older versions aren’t going to magically die, so we still have to deal with them for a few years.
*Hopes for XHTML support*

You got to be kidding me. No wait, it's true?! They'll actually consider supporting standards, and... *gasp* fixing bugs? Wow. I think linux bought out MS or something. First their main concern is security, then antispyware, then *gasp* fixing IE bugs! Wow!

I'll try IE 7 (in a VM) but not as my main browser.

I might do that to. But IE always seems faster to load in my opinion. Firefox is slower but allows more features and has better security.
