That's true: the default style looks fine in IE.

The only problem is, in IE7 at least, is that if you use the stylesheet
switcher just once (even if you simply click it without making a
selection), the site becomes unstyled and there doesn't seem to be any
way to get back the nice visuals, short of clearing the browser cache
and refreshing the page.

A quick fix might be to hide the stylesheet switcher from all versions
of IE using some filters.
