I completely agree. And it's hell for you when you're forced to support
IE because more than 50% of the customers use IE.
if I have to type<!--[if IE 6]> ever again it will be too soon (we
kinda support IE7, and actually support IE8+9)
Heh, I support IE7 largely because I can't stand IE8 and I can't even run
IE9 on my (XP) machine. ;)
Plus, it's a pain to have multiple versions of IE installed (if even
possible), so may as well use the oldest one that I'd conceivably want to
support (Although VirtualBox mitigates this a bit).
Of course, that said, I'm not likely to bend over backwards for minor IE7
rendering issues, particularly on sites that aren't directed at the
average-Joe masses (ie, the most likely ones to be using IE).
I don't support IE6 though, and I also don't support versions of IE that
have that short-lived "Click to activate this control" thing (I tried to,
but it just wasn't worth it).
Microsoft provides free downloads of VirtualPC machines for testing
websites with IE. One virtual machine for each version of IE, but you
can't save anything on them for more than 90 days, or something like that:
