In related IE7 news, Microsoft will be pushing IE7 via Windows Update as a high priority update, but will be an optional update.  There have already been a few concerns over possible exploits, but one thing is for sure, this update will be worth the time to download it.  Until website developers stop designing sites to use activeX there will always be a need to keep a IE around.  It may as well be a more secure version than the porous IE6.
