IE7 requires XP or Vista. I seriously doubt W2K usage will be as low as 20%
even 2 years from now, and there will still be W9x stragglers who haven't
given up their marriage to IE even then.

I have more faith in http://www.thecounter.com/stats/2007/April/browser.php
than wherever your <40% came from. I've been watching that page closely for
several months. It shows IE7 penetration increasing at a very much slower
rate than I expected, with IE6 still at 56% last I looked.
