from the Microsoft Tech Net, a few screen shots of the auto update as planned.
QUOTE: "Microsoft will distribute Internet Explorer 7 as a high-priority update via Automatic Updates soon after the final version of the browser is released for Windows XP later this year".

IDNs get a small mention in the "features" page:

International Domain Name Anti-spoofing
In addition to adding support for International Domain Names in URLs, Internet Explorer also notifies you when visually similar characters in the URL are not expressed in the same language, thus protecting you against sites that could otherwise appear as known, trustworthy sites.

At this point there shouldn't be any doubt that IDNs will be supported by all browsers going forward.
