Thanks for running that test!
It seems as though there is something unique to both XP and Vista - Tablet
editions which prevent IE 7 from pulling up nbc.com.
So far, I don't think we've heard from anyone on the tablet platform who is
able to pull up nbc.com in IE7.
Thanks,

This is a completely generic install.
