Admittedly the other day I had a forbidden planet newsletter/email sent to me and it said that if you were viewing the mail in firefox you needed to right click this banner and choose view image to see it at the proper size...
Thats the thing metal is being backwards, Yes IE has the market share but it does not mean its the best browser and its the worse off in terms of standards compliance and is terrable in the acid tests - Opera and FF Are way more compliant and better in the acid tests with 100% in version 2 and high 70s in version 3.
IE8 will have standards compliance but not as default, you will have to switch it from the silly IE 7/8 hybrid.
Mac is growing in its userbase as well and no IE for that, Saf, ff and Opera and camila work.
IE 5.5 even beats 6 and 7 in acid test 3 basically more standards compliance then both of those two so MS have gone backwards and again considering how important this is now in terms of rendering engines and how fast you can make your site load being standards compliance as well as how it is basically essential if you want good search engine responses and web traffic as well as the actual code and design benefits IE is utter sh*te in that respect.
Then I could go on about JavaScript and its use on modern sites in the form of ajax and the very good frameworks out there and IE in terms of safety over other browsers and how you have many with IE still turning off or having JavaScript off which basically kills a lot of the internet for them but do so to feel safe while FF and more over Opera are fine in this regard but then for extra you have things like no script but the new in built features of FF3 are dam good.
FF 3.1 is even better.
I ignored it at first but got to laugh about metal moaning about the downloads and what the downloads are followed by how he downloaded it but does not basically use it
