It is a good strong possibility IE7 will beta this summer, long before the initial planned release with Longhorn. Microsoft has decided to reverse it's decision to only release browser updates with new OS's with this change of pace. Many attribute it to Firefox's growing market share (IE finally dipped below 90% of the market share for the first time since the early 1990's after Firefox's official release of 1.0), while others attribute it to the long list of scams, bugs, and schemes that make IE seem so insecure.
In any event, IE7 will only run on XP SP2 and up, and HOW it will be released remains to be determined.
There is also definite plans for a SP3 for XP...whether or not IE7 will be rolled into SP3 also remains to be determined.
