Hey! The first thing is: you will be able to download IE7 from many sites apart from microsoft's one. But, even if you download you won't be able to run that, if when you download that file for about 30 min. and run it will promt a message during installation that your copy is not genuine and it will abort the installation.
I suggest to use FireFox2. Thats great.
Still, if you think Microsoft misunderstood you!!!! and curious abt IE7, then here is a link, thats a cracked version, actually a patch that bypasses the validation method. B4 venturing that u must agree that I take no responsibility :-) because when I was curious like u I just found that site as a surfer only.

Its not that your computer isn't genuine, its your copy of windows
isn't considered genuine by Microsoft. If you have a pirated copy you're out of luck the only thing you do is buy a real copy of windows. If you do have a real copy then make sure your copy is
properly activated, you also might need updates make sure you have then all from this site http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us
And if all else fails try the source below.

You need a paid for copy of your operating system instead of the illegal one currently installed on it.
