Yes. I'd heard that they've introduced some font smoothing stuff (nicked that from Safari on the Mac too :-) and it probably has the correct font, rather than second choice of Verdana. Good to hear!

All our stuff at work has to work with IE6, so I'm not allowed to play with IE7 (don't know what sort of smilie to put there)

Don't worry about CSS problems. From what I've heard centreing (or should that be centering? looks bloody weird anyway!) is the main problem with it. Firefox can do the same thing sometimes, too, with dodgey CSS.
