from personal experience my friend the answer is no,this is because the windows genuine advantage tool stops i.e7 from being installed
allthough there are probally fixes or patches that can overcome this,i would strongly recommend against this as again from personal experience messing around with windows and system files can do all kinds of damage to your o/s
i found that,although at first nothing was affected after around 3 to 4 months hardware started playing up and i was getting more and more "windows has to end" screens
as another answer noted,mozzila firefox is a excellent alternative browser and is as good if not better than i.e7 and also has some excellent plug-ins,you can download it from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
although quite expensive,a genuine copy of windows xp can be a good long term investment,and enables you to get access to all the downloads such as i.e7,media player 11 and windows defender
instead of using windows xp why not upgrade now to vista,i have found a bargain copy on the web,allthough its a o.e.m copy its the same as any other version,but dosent have all the flashy packaging as other versions(http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=263755&CatId=0),i think its a real bargain at this price
good luck

You must have Windows XP Service Pack-2 (SP2) in order to install Internet Explorer 7.0. But still you will face a problem while installing this new Internet Explorer if your copy of Windows XP is not a genuine (non-pirated) one, since IE 7.0 installation requires genuine windows validation!!! So what to do??? Don’t worry… There are some tricky steps through which you can install IE 7.0 even in your pirated copy of windows XP bypassing the genuine windows validation.

do no longer use IE7 Beta 2 because of the fact it remains under attempt version till you had to evaluate and take part in debugging the utility. Why no longer validating your OS, Microsoft is basically making valuable that utilising their utility could desire to apply a real OS to make particular its correctness or in case you may get carry of a pirated version of IE7 yet its unlawful.

I thoroughly, wholeheartedly reccomend that you use Firefox as an alternative to IE7 - it's free, so just download it. I use it and love it, and I've heard nothing but praise for it - which is quite the opposite of what I've heard about IE7.
