Bother Testing in IE7?

IE7 is still in beta, so it might not display sites in the same way as it will when it's finished.

But I think it now has the majority of HTML and CSS support (if not all of it) installed.

I think it's worth keeping an eye on. It will take a while for IE7 to take over IE6 as the worlds most popular browser, so you have plenty of time to test to monitor your site on IE7 and see if the problem fixes itself or if you need to deploy a workaround.
 
Agreed. Have a cursory glance at how it looks in IE7, but don't worry if it's not working perfectly. I'm seeing less than 0.5% usage for IE7, which puts it lower than IE5 in usage, and I give that browser very little attention.

With potential conflicts of CSS workarounds and hacks occuring, I feel it's not worth the trouble trying taking up time to resolve those while full IE6 support is of the highest priority. You can future-proof yourself by using conditional comments to serve your CSS fixes to IE on a version basis, leaving IE7 with the vanilla, full-standards stylesheet.
 
Thanks for the views guys

Will keep a close eye on the matter. It seems to have problems with the spacing/padding of the navigation.

I'm sure a simple fix will do it.
 
IE7 still seems to be changing quite a lot. My site looked fine in beta 1 and beta 2, but beta 3 inexplicably displays it with a horizontal scroll bar. I hope it's sorted before release because I can't figure out how to fix it!
