Internet Explorer 7 has Escaped

IE7 has just stumbled out of Microsoft and into the hands of the general public. It's hangover from getting high on CSS it had until now only heard about as "the really good shit" has started to kick in and it can't find enough DOM support to mellow things out again.

Microsoft's latest (and, don't get me wrong, entirely encouraged) round of shit-shining has yielded some vast improvements to CSS support, some improvements to its DOM support, and fuck-all to its JavaScript (or BULLSHIT, as they call it). Even so, I welcome this major step forward in hopes that people will, at the very least, end up using a browser that at least gets us past the days of contaminating our stylesheets with * html and width: (x); _width: (x - suck);. Hopefully, some of the IE users out there will get a chance to see how some real browsers have beaten it several times over in performance, stability, features, extensibility, and standards support.

Whichever way you feel about it, install IE7 and throw a fucking bitch-fest at whatever sites don't support it yet. The faster we get the mainstream to support IE7, the faster their developers will start looking at developing with actual standards instead of browser-specific nonsense.
