I currently use 7 but also validate web designs on FF, IE6 & IE8 (via VPC). IE6 is full of bugs, IE7 has some but at last Microsoft appear to have followed W3C standards with IE8, usually I find if it works in FF it will also work in IE8. Will probably move to IE8 shortly.
I have also just pre ordered Windows 7 and noticed the warning for europe "burn a browser source to CD before installing Windows 7 as no browser included" - its about time the EC got real, there is no anti competitive aspect to bundling a browser in the OS, plonkers.

The biffs at FF and even more obscure browsers would say otherwise.

Of course, if new PCs (talking about the poorly built ones from small shops) don't come with a browser, how are users supposed to get a browser?

The big sellers, such as HP and Dell (the 2 largest manufacturers based on box shifting) will still supply IE, as the likes of FF are not in a position to pay them enough.
