If you read the Vista specifications really carefully, IE7 would be
only the least of your problems - you like the idea of MS being able
to "switch off" your Vista because one of your hardware drivers
doesn't support their ideas of DRM and the manufacturer of your
hardware (most often in this case the graphics card) is either too
slow, unable or not willing to provide a new driver as to Microsoft's
demands? (the manufacturer might be simply out of business, or
consider your hardware as too old for support) - it's only one of many
frightening scenarios that lie ahead with Vista...

Remember, that with a laptop you couldn't even change that specific
hardware to be conform again but effectively would have a computer
that suddenly won't work with the recent MS-OS anymore - none of it
due to any fault of yours...
