    IE 7.0 > FireFox 1.0

    Spare me your zealotry for a moment and think about it. I guarantee that IE 7 is going to obliterate Firefox, when it comes to user mindshare. Just like IE5 and 6 buried Netscape. This will set web development back ages as the slowly building current trend towards standards based cross browser compatibility will revert to the old way of developing sites specifically for IE.
