IE7b2 does render the page identical to IE6. And the fix does work in
IE7b2 too. That said, there are different approaches to the problem that
IE7 is not real: IE7b2 is a beta that could be followed by a number of
betas and gammas. For example, they are asked to implement min-width,
max-width. If they do, it might be that they have to fix a number of
issues like this one you've encountered on that long way. On the other
hand, they have stated that the "haslayout" issue itself (how elements
are bound) is not changed, so I assume we will still need things like
zoom for a while -- but I can't know for sure.
Therefore, I think while it's important to test the hacks in IE7b2, it's
save to keep the conditionals excluding IE7:
<title>Data Shop</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="allbrowsers.css" type="text/css" />
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="iefix.css" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->
</head>
and iefix.css
/*
fix to bridle the table, prevents overflowing of the viewport
works in IE7b2, too
*/
#preview { float: left; }
#contents { zoom: 1; }
Once IE7 is more final, you can revisit these hacks and easily switch
the conditional from lt to "less than or equal to": lte.

I don't know those things, I have to try. We have compiled some
information on related problems here
