I don't know if this will provide anymore information then you already
have but this was put out by HEUG last week..
IE 7 should be available from Microsoft in Q4 as an automated update.
Oracle has been working with the beta product and hasn't encountered any
problems, but formal testing has to be completed on the GA product once
it has been released. Oracle hopes to complete that testing and certify
the product soon after Microsoft's release date. The current plan is to
test those products that are currently in Oracle's testing environments
which are PeopleTools 8.22 and 8.46-8.48. It is fully expected that
Oracle will certify IE 7 on these versions.
Oracle's general concern is that because IE7 will be an automated update
many customers will simply be upgraded to IE 7 across their entire
environment irrespective of Oracle's certification. For that reason
Oracle's recommendation is for customers to assess whether they are
comfortable with that approach - where their environment moves to a
major new release in an automated fashion where their applications
vendors may not have been able to fully test the configuration - and if
not, to turn off the automated upgrade until they have conducted
internal regression testing or have upgraded to a certified Tools
configuration.
That being said, Oracle realizes the areas where most customers have
little control over their users' browsers, self-service apps, typically
use less challenging user interface code and therefore should have no
problem migrating to IE 7.

Subject: Internet Explorer 7 is coming in October
Does anyone have any official information from Oracle regarding when IE7
will be a supported release? We're running the Enterprise Portal and I
want to be sure that we don't run into any support issues if our people
start using it.
I looked don CC and didn't see anything.
