Imagine if other mediums had to deal with the same reasoning that the media
they produce has to look the same when viewed with inferior technology. We
never would have made it out of black and white television. At some point, old
things have to be left behind, and new things need to be embraced. People that
have inferior products to view media with, know that their products are
inferior, and should realistically expect the content they view to be different
than someone who is current. Someone using a VCR doesn't get picture quality
equal to that of a DVD player, and they know that, or, they don't know what a
DVD is, and they don't know that there is anything better.
If using features in new browsers is to be made difficult by looking back at
browsers from two generations ago... then what is the point of making new
browsers? I'm young, and maybe I don't quite follow the reasoning behind this.
People using IE6 can use my sites, but they don't look the same. And if you use
IE6 for whatever good reason, and still expect new web experiences to look the
same to you as someone using Firefox 3, then I can't relate. I think you are
lucky... at least you can get to the content. Try putting a Blu-Ray disc in a
DVD player.
