One small step...

IE7 is now a "high priority" update on Microsoft Update. Great news for the web design community.

Microsoft even admit that this release of IE doesn't address every issue with web standards support (take the "q" tag for example), but it does represent Microsoft's effort to try and get back in the browser game.

Lets hope that Microsoft listen to the needs of web developers and shape a better product in the IE releases to come (they are connected with the Web Standards Project after all).

To twist Neil Armstrong's words: "This is one small step for web standards, one giant leap for Microsoft web standards compliance".

Also, Windows Media Player 11 has been released too!
