What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

FIREFOX is still better, more stable, more secure, and more customizable than IE7.
From a designer and developer standpoint Firefox will beat Explorer every time.
How about those W3 Standards guys?

It also tends to be a memory hog for the average user who has no idea how to optimize their system. From a designer / developer perspective it will also depend on what type of application you're developing. If you're developing a business application; I seriously doubt you're going to alienate your customer base by porting your app to a less standard platform.
Also, there was a time when Apple believed that their products would not encounter the same kind of attacks that plague Microsoft, but over the past 18 months we have seen viruses aimed at both Macs and the iPod.
Just my .02

Microsoft is actually working fairly close with the FireFox and Netscape development groups, to make sure those browsers work well with upcoming MS servers and content delivery systems (the 2007 version of the Office products).
Browser development will remain a moving target for the near future, as no browser has reached perfection at this point.

No, many of the users will be producing internal content for corporate use that may eventually end up on some outward facing web server or merged with some other companies information as part of that companies support or product marketing efforts.
Functionality like the export of Outlook Calendar entries, and web interfaces for collaboratve editing of documents are better served by taking into account other browsers that users of those online tools as data transfers might wish to take advanage of.

What's the news on IE7s support of standards? Where is it still lacking?

Last beta I tried (which was a few months ago) did not have full CSS selector support. If memory serves, things like child selectors and the ":first-child" pseudo-class weren't working. That means I'm going to have to continue to write hacky CSS to deal with IE for the next few years.
I am sticking with Firefox for now because I write web pages as part of my job and I still have to support IE6 for the next few years, no matter how much better IE7 may be. As of the last beta I installed (a few months ago), you couldn't run IE6 and IE7 on the same machine. Since I can't install IE7 without losing IE6, I can't re-verify my previous results.

I'll stick to Opera. Besides I heard that they already found a vulnerability in IE 7.

Heard what? From whom? I heard that it is pretty irresponsible to make such an inflammatory statement without any citation. I don't remember who said it, though.

This is not true. I have IE7 on my computer and when i went to their site - it said "your browser does not seem to be vunerable to this flaw"
Just more Microsoft hating.

I didn't mean for it too be inflammatory but a friend said they saw it on digg. I just ran it on my computer and it said I am vulnerable.

I have IE7 and have since the early BETA's and my computer is not vulerable, but it does not mean that this is not legit.
