"When eWEEK Labs looked at Internet Explorer 6.0 more than five years ago, we were so disappointed in the browser that we said the only reason to upgrade to it was because it was free. That means you'd have to go back nearly nine years to find a release of the Microsoft browser that we found to be significant: IE 5.0. But with the release Oct. 18 of Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft is finally back in the Web browser game in a serious way: IE 7 takes major strides in reversing Microsoft's neglect of the flagship browser." And, surprise.

It is in fact a correct statement.
As you all know Firefox is cross platform, and more and more people are switching to it everyday.
However,
The biggest competitor to IE7 is IE6, and this does not just run under Windows.
It will run sweetly under Wine and also Crossover Office.

"In fact, the biggest weakness in IE 7—and one that will always keep it behind competitors—is the fact that it runs only on Windows systems."
That statement is soo wrong.
