By default, yes. You assume correctly that my system shipped w/ IE6. I
installed IE7 later. Then after the SP3 blue-screen IE6 would not work at
all. Seems IE7 left pieces around that stopped IE6 from working thru Repair
Install.

Thankfully I had IE7 downloaded on another computer and reinstalled IE7 so I
could get online again. That's what I've been running since, and keeping
Updates current.
