I'll bet that this is about to get some _major_ exposure. :-)

Developers testing out the latest version of Internet Explorer 7 are discovering a nasty flaw -- the browser seems to 
be incompatible with Google's AdSense advertising service. Although the problem seems limited to those running IE7 Beta 
under Windows XP, it still has some developers worried. For many, AdSense has become the de facto method for generating 
revenue for their sites. Google generates over $2 billion in revenue yearly from the program alone.

"Considering that by the end of the year, IE7 should be available for almost all versions of Windows, unless Microsoft 
wants to face the ire of developers everywhere, it had better fix this," Nathan Weinberg of the InsideGoogle Web log 
wrote Wednesday. Although it is unknown as to why this is occurring, it is suspected it may have to do with how IE7 now 
handles JavaScript. Microsoft could not be reached for comment.
