"They're trying to fool you. They're trying to scare you and they're not telling the truth," a fired-up Obama declared while campaigning in South Dakota. "But it's not going to work. Both Bush and McCain represent the failed foreign policy and fear mongering of the past," Obama said. "I believe the American people are ready to reject this approach and to choose the future."

I've had many of those new features like tabbed browsing for a while now via Firefox.

GoDaddy is probably doing browser snifffing and needs to update their database.
As for Firefox vs. IE7 -- I'll be sticking with Firefox. Microsoft has been a detriment to Internet browsing for about 6 years now, I don't plan on rewarding them for finally getting a clue. Which, according to John's link, it appears they haven't got yet.

For clarity's sake, 2:15 AM John is the same as 1:55 AM John. I only need one post to knock IE ;) and get it out of my system.

Yes, John. Please shut up about Firefox. It no longer makes you one of the elite. What's next, your prefs for Red Hat Linux? Give everyone a break. You sound so Y2K.

I switched from IE to Mozilla and then Firefox a long time ago, and I think all three suck.

Try web-surfing with telepathy.
Please shut up about Firefox. ... You sound so Y2K.
Telling someone they "sound so Y2K" is so 9/10.

they should change that graphic to "You've got a crappy browser, baby!"
honestly, even with Safari, I'm using a browser that's just copying what they came up with years ago. back when they started Chimera (now called Camino), it was amazing to see what could be done with new browsers. I'm honestly not sure what good they think IE7 will be.
all I can figure is that they want the MSN portal back, but that's doubtful, as the iTunes Music Store is probably the biggest competition-free portal in the interwebs.

From what I've heard, Beta 2 will fix a *lot* of CSS bugs in IE - which is A Good Thing™. I'm sick of having to hack around IE's numerous deficiencies - and every web developer on the planet has to put up with the same thing.
If MS can create a browser that at least is passable on standards, great for them. I'll still use Apple, but I'll curse Microsoft less.
(And GoDaddy should know better than to check browsers by UA string - that's so 1999. Good JavaScript checks compatibility by object instead...)

They are almost certainly checking for the browser, and, seeing IE, checking for the version to be 6 (maybe 5 or 6, or 5.5 or 6), and when they see that it isn't, complaining that the browser is old. This is exactly why you aren't supposed to do it that way.
