As it has already be said, you need a space between IE and 7.
There is also a space before the [ that needs to be removed.

No its not missing anything for HTML.

It is true that conditional comments are for IE, other browsers do not need
to understand them. If not IE then IE will not display it.
Other browsers should ignore the conditional comments, and when done
correctly !IE will display in browsers that are not IE. As the OP has
stated, it displays as expected in Firefox.
It is completely incorrect to say that !IE conditional comments will not
display in any browser, when done correctly.

Another option for the !IE comment would be:
<!--[if !IE]> <-->
<p style="font-size:24px; color:red">This is a non-IE test</p>
<!--> <![endif]-->
