Noah Stokes has written a really lovely piece about CSS and IE6.
My company’s clients are corporate, and many of them still have displays at 800×600. We’ve tried in vain to get them to increase their screen size in order to take advantage of the extra real estate, and the fact is that you just can’t change end users. What that means is we need to deliver the product that our end users need, to work on the tools that they use. If we loftily from on high dictate that our users should only use Firefox, we will lose our user base.
No matter how much I hate to say this, we just can’t pretend IE doesn’t exist.
No, we can’t pretend IE doesn’t exist. But we can hope it dies a painful death.
