In Support of Internet Explorer (Kind Of)
Posted by Nirav | Filed under Microsoft, Web Design
No, I don’t check my sites in IE6, ever. But I do check them in IE7. Why? Because there are many people who are stuck with it. Which is why I think Jim Whimpey’s wrong when he posits that:
People that use Internet Explorer don’t care about their online experience.
Besides the elitist tone that his entire post takes, a clear lack of thinking drenches the piece. Perhaps Jim would have to not care about his online experience to use IE. However, there are hundreds of thousands of people who aren’t allowed to install anything other than IE on their company laptops. And do they know that it’s their browser’s fault that a site looks bad? No. They think it’s the site.
Yes, to hell with bad browsers. But I’m not going to say the same to my innocent users.
