    even my original XP is still using version IE 6 because i use firefox mainly..now i will think about upgrading :)

    Many people wanted to try IE7 when it was released but were unable to do so because of WGA. This measure is rather late because people have already forgotten IE7.

    @faqfc and @shashank
    Well i would suggest of not using IE7 unless it is on Vista(preloaded).
    I use WinXp(genuine :) ) and i have used IE7, and to be frank, i had the max trouble dealing with IE7.

    Moreover, your system will be leaft with extraordinary security settings once you uninstall and rollback to IE6

    Just installed IE 7. It's slick. It's just slow in rendering pages.

    Don't get awed by this microsoft gimmick...you would never know what micrsoft is upto...

    I think this is a good move to increase the usage of IE, firefox seems to be increasing its share.

    I think you are talking about the IE7 beta ..IE7 should be ok.

    As webdesigner ie7 is a disaster, event more then ie6...

    I wonder why anyone wants to stick with that... ok there are enough css hacks arround right now for designing 'well' in ie6 and i bet in a year or so that will be the case to for ie7... but in the mean time, webpages design for firefox, safari and ie6 that are as STANDARD as possible will just look awfull in ie7... 2 steps forward 1 back... seems to be the case here..

    To make it free for pireted versions? People should buy or go to free resources, don't try to get a bite out of 2!
