Is it true IE 7 does not work with Windows XP?

[dlivingend]

A technical support assistant with my DSL provider, AT&T, just had me
uninstall Internet Explorer Ver. 7 because he said it does not work well with
Windows XP. Can anyone confirm that? And can I install IE Ver. 6?

I've been running version seven on my Windows XP system for several
weeks without any difficulty. I was postponing that change on the "If it
isn't broke..." theory, but decided to try it out when I heard that
version 8 was in beta testing.

Thanks for your response. I guess I haven't really had trouble with it
until I had this issue gettting online. It turned out to be a line problem.
We just had to replace a phone line. But by then I had uninstalled IE Ver. 7
and all it's seven upgrades. Now, when I go to IE, it want to help me with
Ver. 7 all over again. I think I'll go ahead an reinstall it since it was
not the problem.

Uninstalling IE7 automatically returns the machine to IE6.

A better resource for support issues with AT&T than Tier 1 telephone is the
AT&T forum at DSL Reports:

You should select the appropriate region for your service. Read the intro at
the top of the page you select; AT&T's concept of "Midwest" differs from the
common usage.
