“We have decided to do a new version of Internet Explorer, this is IE 7,” Gates said at the RSA Security Conference.

Microsoft had not previously indicated whether it planned to release a new version of IE. Long the dominant browser in the market, IE has recently seen some of its market share chipped away by open-source rival Firefox, which, like IE, is offered for free."

FireFox made them do it. Personally,--I know it sounds bad--I rather design for, and worry about one browser, but it's great that MSFT is being forced to upgrade.
