You can't help curiosity. I'm sure all those using IE6 will switch to IE7 when it's officially released, but since they were already using IE to begin with you won't see a change in overall browser usage from them. I think the numbers will eventually go back to the way they were once the shiny bauble factor of IE7 has worn off, and when we see a *major* upgrade to Firefox the numbers will likely change a lot in it's favor. The thing Firefox really has going for it is that once people switch to it, they're unlikely to switch back to what they were using once they see how much better it is.

IE has been er re-born over and over and viruses, spyware, malware of all sorts is still with us and doing well. Security is just as bad as ever with IE. This version will be no exception in holes everywhere and patches floating in one after another, all with the attempt to patch a leaky bucket with far more holes that patches. Firefox went up for a reason. Folks will continue to use it no matter how nice a shine is put on the baubble called IE. However, should Firefox charge for the browser then yes, people will revert to IE. However, I am quite sure I won't be one using IE. Myself I prefer Konquer. Don’t believe it.
