It appears that MS really is making the effort to give IE7 a great reputation of being secure. Fortunately, I didn't actually put any money on it, so my mistake didn't cost me anything!

This is also unpached the moment, although there is a simple command line fix for it. I would be prepared to put money on Firefox patching the vulnerability before Microsoft patches theirs - even though the MS one was discovered about a week ago.
