M$ is gonna be slightly annoyed when they discover that ie7.com has already been taken as a name by a little orange fox.

Looks like some over-eager fan went ahead and registered it. Cute. If Microsoft wishes to pursue the matter however, it shouldn't be difficult to reclaim the domain through the disputation process. There's nothing on the website at all that deals with any product or service named "IE7" or has any reason to use the trademark.
I'm more impressed when people turn the logo into a crop circle that can be seen from the air :)

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Taking a certain domain name to foxhole the competition is very questionable legally.
