Actually, you can use IE7 with near viral and moral impunity, if you only use the uninstalled stand-alone version (the only ie I allow on my computer at all is a standalone version).
Skyzyx Downloads used to offer all editions of ready-made standalone ie zip packages but the Microsoft Monster has apparently been breathing down his neck and they’re not there at the moment.
However, it’s easy to turn the beta from msdn into a standalone, using the instructions from this website:

Not that I’ll be using 7 — 5.5 standalone is more than good enough for the rare occasions when I don’t use Firefox.
Doesn’t matter how beautiful 7 looks, if you can’t plug it up with the adblock extension.
