HTTP concurrent connections from IE - AJAX

I have been stumbling across articles about the two-concurrent-connection limit of IE7 recently.
Tools like the Visual Round Trip Analyzer from Microsoft also mention this in the set of criteria they evaluate against.
It seems that in IE8 the limit of 2 connections is increased to 6 as per here:
AJAX - Connectivity Enhancements in Internet Explorer 8

But it can also be tweaked in IE7 and below as decsribed in the KB article:
