IE 7 on its way this month?

RC 1 of IE 7 was in fact the warning shot across the web development community. IE 7 is coming soon and it will be almost everywhere before Christmas. The IE Blog has more details but it still makes me shake my head… Why must the web be ready for IE 7? Is IE 7 ready for the web? Do they care?
On a positive note, IE 7 should make a lot of things easier with web development… especially with CSS. I think it will take about 6-8 months before IE 6 drops to IE 5.5 numbers as most organizations (UW included) will not update IE for several months.
Check your pages and make yourself familiar with Virtual PC or VMWare, etc. You will need to have IE 6 around and running in XP for a while I am afraid ;)
