IE 10 is coming to Windows 7: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2013/02/26/ie10-for-windows-7-globally-available-for-consumers-and-businesses.aspx
I’m glad to see this move, as IE10 is far more standards compliant than any of the previous generations.

Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.
It’s our job to deliver web standards compliant websites. Freeway does it’s job perfectly. It’s not that I specifically ‘create websites for IE’. If IE10 pics up whatever I do via CSS or whatever, great for those who all those years didn’t realise that there were more reliable alternatives like Firefox or Chrome, but hey … it’s been their choice to take a left turn where the rest of the world took a right, so if they’re trying to catch up, it’s about time, but not important for webdevelopment.
The comments on there are hilarious though

When you’re a professional web designer, you want your sites to look great regardless of the browser/OS combo that the visitor is using.
Side-note: IE users account for about 50% of web usage.
As I see it, our job is not to “deliver web standards compliant websites”, but rather to craft a great user-experince with a mind toward conversions. This doesn’t mean we should not use stuff like CSS3 box shadows, but we do need to keep in mind our visitors that are still using the various versions of IE (personally, I check IE8 and up).

You should keep an eye on your browser stats, and you should also consider that people who are still using IE 8 (and lower – horrors!) are used to seeing a largely-broken Web. It’s nice of you to put in double-effort to make it appear less broken to them, but if that cuts into the time you have to get your message out there, it’s not a good trade-off.
It’s also not doing them any favors security-wise, since if it doesn’t appear broken, they may persist in using a virus propagation device as a browser.
The Web (and your business) will be better off if the laggards are encouraged to upgrade. And yes, I realize that many people upgrade their browser by purchasing a newer computer…
