Depends on how your clients and end users perceive the need to upgrade. Do
they have a T1, or a 28.8 modem. Are they intranet, or internet; Fortune 500
corporate users, or consumers... you get the idea. I wish it were as easy as
saying you WILL upgrade, life would be a hell of a lot easier for all of us.
We had a fairly detailed discussion about a month ago regarding browser use
and statistics... might look there for more info.

Subject: [Dynapi-Dev] not so sure about this anymore
All,
I have a somewhat philosophical question about this project. I got the
source, started working with it, threw my hat into the ring as a Mac guy and
now I'm having second thoughts about the necessity of this project at all.
I've been spending a lot of time working with pure CSS/DOM in Mozilla/NS6,
IE5 and Opera 5 and have been reading some articles on A List Apart
(www.alistapart.com) about the Web Standards Project's new browser upgrade
initiative and I've decided something. I am no longer going to encourage
the use of old buggy browsers (most of which are 3-4 years old). From now
on, my sites are only compatible with CSS/DOM capable browsers. If you
ain't got one, upgrade. I think it's about time. This cross-browser
compatibility stuff is holding back the web and I don't see the reason for
it anymore. Suddenly, DynAPI seems like a waste of time for me. A band-aid
on a limb that is so damaged it should just be amputated. How will this
project remain vital in the long run? What will it offer besides bugwards
compatibility?
Ryan
