"CNET is reporting that IE7 will be pushed to users via Windows Update. This
has serious implications for e-commerce websites whose functionality might
be affected by any bugs in the software. Also to have end users suddenly
using a new browser right before the holiday shopping season could magnify
the cost any bugs that might create a bad user experience on sites."

My personal opinion is that they should NOT push the final version until
Windows XP SP3 . They need to 99.999 %sure the browser is OK and stable
however as far as I can see , some guys are having problems with beta 3 more
than with beta 2

Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla FIrefox are still great solution for users!

Precisely! I do not fix things that are not broken.
