IE 7 worth worrying about yet?

Site I'm working on at the moment has a minor display problem under IE, so
I've fixed it in IE 6 using the "*html" CSS hack, but it's still broken in
IE 7 which has a much better CSS parser (but still a rubbish layout engine).

I know how I *can* fix it in IE 7, but with IE 7 still in beta, I wonder
if it's worth it yet. After all, it's still a moving target -- if I fix it
now, it could break in the next beta.

What do you think?

I agree that it's still a fast moving target - no point in fixing on IE7
yet.

Gotta agree with you Grey. Hopefully there will be someone relatively
new who still has the energy to go through the formal channels to
report bugs to M$, and eventually it will come up to more-or-less
spec.
