Dave Shea speaks on IE7.

[sarcle]

The latest beta preview release of IE7, the one that came out in association with this conference, is expected to be more or less the final revision to the rendering engine. What exists now is as feature-complete as it will get, so expect no more CSS or major bug fixes past this point for IE7.

They’re not 100% there yet, there’s still a lot of work to be done, but there are two important take-aways here. First, IE7 is not the end of the road. This is the first big step, but they expect to make many more. Second, now is the time to start fixing your sites. Grab the latest version, and test against it; if your site breaks in it (as this one does), you can expect that will remain true after IE7 final is released. It’s time to start the surgery. It’ll hurt. But hopefully, the rest of this post will convince you and me both that it won’t be so bad.
