I believe it's Eric Meyer in the <a href="http://www.we05.com/" title="Web Essentials '05 Conference" rel="nofollow">Web Essentials '05</a> Podcasts that says pick a browser and stick with it when coding out. I've found that I typically do this anyway, and only when I take the site over to my Windows testing machine do I have to hack the hell out of my stylesheet. I haven't gotten a chance to mess with IE 7 beta yet, but some folks still aren't sold on Microsoft's commitment to a better user experience through web standards.

Heck, I figure if the site works on IE/Mac 5.2 it'll work on anything. I keep a copy of 5.2 to on my mac so i can check it when I’m designing sites.

It's painfully slow, horrible with standards, and extremely unattractive. However, I know a lot of people that still use it for their primary web browser either because they don't know any better or it's a comfort level. I don't even know what this site looks like in IE 5.2 for Mac, but it doesn't matter as it wasn't part of my browser support matrix. Besides, most of my visitors are on IE 5.5 for Windows, Firefox, or Safari. I guess 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Yes, IE 5.2 for Mac is an antiquated browser.

Probably because they want to show just how great their webbrowser is, and that everybody should turn to PC's in order to use their websites, hehehe. But IE/mac is an ancient browser though... I think it's already about 3-4 years old right? That program belongs in the trashcan, right next to MSN5 for Mac ;-) But hey, if Microsoft wants to make people use other browsers, I can only support them doing it. Firefox is so far ahead (on PC's), I'm not even sure if IE7 will be as good. Yeah, they changed the website a while ago, and “made sure” that IE/mac doesn’t work anymore.
