No, not the one by Microsoft. Instead, it's a CSS and .htc file that invokes DHTML behavior in IE5/6 to bring them up to standards. This includes the following:

namepsace|selector
:root
:hover/active/focus
[attr]
[attr="value"]
[attr~="value"]
multiple classes
parent > child
adjacent + selector
adjacent ~ selector
:first/last-child
min/max-width/height
<abbr/>
position:fixed
box-model
:before/after/content
:first-line/letter (fix bugs?)
PNG transparency
text-shadow
<q/>
support for IE5.0
:empty

(Unbolded items indicate not finished yet)

Simply friggin' amazing.
 
What do you mean? :confused: You just code as you would for any standards-compliant browser, and this'll make sure IE picks up all CSS values correctly.

Yeah, I didn't explain myself very well.

What I mean is, you'd still have to include all the ugly hacks for IE5/6 as not everyone uses this IE7.
 
I'm still not following... IE7 is simply an .htc file that forces IE5/6 to conform to web standards while rendering your site. It's not an actual browser.
 
I thought it was a file you had to replace in IEs program folders, and not a simple document you linked too, until I read into it a bit further.

Please disregard all my above posts. :O
