When Microsoft indicate that they will withdraw support for IE7,
they simply mean that they will no longer provide security fixes and updates
for it. It won't change the way the browser works, and websites that work
with IE7 now will always work with it.
What you will find as time goes by, is that less websites work with
IE7. This is a long term view, but developers will be turning their
attention to designing for an IE8 market. It's something that can already be
seen with the move away from IE6. It's increasingly more difficult to design
a website that works properly in IE6, so web designers are becoming more
vocal about not building websites for use with IE6 at all.
More importantly, if you remain with IE7 once support has been
withdrawn, you'll be using a browser without the benefit of regular updates
and fixes. All of which said, Microsoft haven't yet withdrawn support, so
there's no immediate need to decide right now.
Léonie.
