According to the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/guidelines/newmedia/technical/browser_support.shtml), only 23% of their visitors have XP SP2 installed (ie only about a third of XP users). Even if we assume all those people accept the IE7 upgrade (and it's likely most will), it will remain a minority browser for many years, if not forever. (I am skeptical about Vista ever being widespread, which would be the main factor in further adoption, and still contingent upon an as-yet undetected slowdown in Firefox use.) -- Chris Ovenden http://thepeer.blogspot.com "Imagine all the people / Sharing all the world" ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL-REMOVED]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
