The conclusion — install both of them and use them interchangeably. If a web site doesn’t work on one, use the other.

But, he also had an alternative conclusion — don’t install either one — wait for a couple weeks for patches.
Personally, I don’t agree with the alternative conclusion. IE7 has huge security fixes to the ActiveX gaping security hole. If you keep using IE6 when you could change to IE7, you’re making a mistake.
Firefox 2 is much more of an incremental upgrade — but Firefox has seen a lot of new versions in the last 2 years. This is the first real IE upgrade in 5 years!
