Do IE7 support PNG files?
I know that IE6 does not support transparency.

If you see a blue background behind this logo, then your web browser doesn't support transparency  which is a nice effect to have when making websites :D

Firefox supports this ;)

Yup, it should support that, JHB.

* Quicky checks and closes IE again... *   ;D

Yep, it does.

Yeah that made me mad on some compatibility issues of a site I made. It had an IFrame that would reload every 30 seconds to check a twitter script and update twitter status, (since the php file that I made to check twitter status would not work inline, it had to be a iframe, and it looked fine on firefox, but on IE the iframe was a huge white box....

Yep the patch seems to be released indeed.
