IE7 Present and Ready for Download, Sir!

IE7 is here! For IE users, this is a no-brainer. If it's not far more secure than IE6, I'll eat my hat -- my chocolate-frosted, ice cream cake hat. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be chomping on this puppy, as Microsoft has had years to spruce up IE's protections. De-emphasizing ActiveX is certainly one giant leap for mankind.
