That's interesting, Glen.
There were three reasons I uninstalled IE 7 and went back to IE 6: 1) I was

I didn't want Internet Explorer hijacking my RSS feed functions.

Re IE 8, in the non screen reader community, a very large percentage
of people who upgrade to IE 8 are moving back to IE 7.
If I can find the report again, I'll post the link.
