Well I do so where PNG files are larger than GIF's and JPEG's. But I only
hope that when IE7 is shipped out to the public I hope that it has better
improvements in web standards when I design websites I try my best to
achieve all-round browser compatibility both from IE and FireFox and achieve
valid HTML/XHTML so in the end either I like IE7 or not I will be using it
either way, if I like IE7 I will come back but I hear that IE7 will just be
a over hauled IE6, I think it's time the IE development team and Microsoft
begin to consider a radical re-design and revolution to IE.
