Have they fixed the Windows 7/IE 8 problem yet?

It's well known that Internet Explorer 8 breaks pro tools m-powered because of the PACE drivers/software. Windows 7 went RTM this week, so is it fixed yet? This is the ONLY thing stopping me from upgrading to Windows 7.

Edit: I meant Pro Tools not working with Windows 7 is the only thing stopping me from upgrading to Windows 7.

Seriously??
Not being able to use IE8 is the only thing stopping you?
I've never thought of it as a valuable application, ever. There are so many other perfectly fine browsers out there.

The only thing stopping me is that Pro Tools isn't designed to work on Windows 7 ATM and thus I wouldnt ever risk it in a production environment.

Says they wont ship Windows 7 until late Oct, so I'd venture to say Digi won't release support for a few more months.

I do love Windows 7 and think it just destroys Vista and is so much smoother and faster feeling. Kudos to MS on this one.

Um... same reasoning here. Pro Tools not working with Windows 7, therefore it's the only thing stopping me from upgrading. I don't care about Internet Explorer 8.

However, they need to fix the problem with Internet Explorer 8 because it comes bundled with Windows 7, and even if you uninstall it, its residue breaks Pro Tools.
