IE 7 - is there hope for CSS?

It has hit slashdot that there might be an IE 7 soon-ish. What does this mean? Not sure. One would expect that little 1% drop woke up MS engineers to the fact that a significant number of web users do upgrade browsers, and do like new features. CSS support may just happen by default… we will see.
Here is to hoping that they take the list of features users want and build a better IE – or just tell everyone to download Firefox where they will find all the features IE users yearn for ;)
Update (Jan 11/05): If you search Google for IE 7 this post ends up 5th on the list so I thought I should update this. The number one result is this /IE7/ which looks pretty cool. It is basically a hack so you don’t have to hack your CSS. Not a bad idea.. but other than that, IE 7 isn’t real… yet.
Update (Feb 15/05): Looks like IE 7 is real and Google still has this post ranked high. I will make sure today’s post has lots of links ;)
