Internet Explorer 7 has performance issues when dealing with scrolling translucent images over background images. To compensate, users of that browser will see a solid background to content instead of one which allows the main background to gently shine through.
Internet Explorer 6 has additional problems when dealing with translucent images, these can be worked around, but this would likely trigger the same issues as IE7 suffers instead. IE6 users will encounter occasional grey backgrounds where there should be translucency.
I encourage Internet Explorer users to upgrade to one of the many excellent alternatives such as Opera or Firefox.
