At the end of the day however, large corporations with proprietary intranets are probably outnumbered by web developers and sites created by web developers. Just my $0.02 Most definitely Andy.

They, after all, carry much more weight than the web design community.

And as you so rightly said, the hacks that are there to hide things from IE wouldn't really be affected anyway. If Microsoft don't improve the browser now, because of fears that they'll break something when trying to fix things, then it's only going to get worse by the time IE8 is released.

It also fixes others, web developers are used to this: if IE7 could correctly handle the CSS code then hacks to hide CSS from IE 6 and less would not effect things and things would not be broken. Doctype switching helps with this already. I'm not certain what they're worried about.
