1. Maintenance hell for upgrades
2. Should retest for many versions of proprietary products
(e.g: Flash versions)
3. Non-professional image in the eyes of tech-people (no standards compliance,

4. Small but important market (non-Windows, many tech-people)
may be lost.
Since PHB's couldn't care less for [1,2,4] I think maybe item 3
should be stressed. Maybe instead of calling a company webmaster
about "your page doesn't work with Linux/Mozilla/Whatever" we should call
the marketing department with "Whoever designed your web pages haven't
done a professional job. It may deteriorates your public image without
you knowing about it... We will be happy to give technical details to
your relevant representatives".
What do you think? Is this approach too aggressive? (reaching the
web design team from above).
It seems that the people at the Mac forum are organizing for a similar approach against ynet:
