If you've ever designed a large website, you'll quickly come to  
realize that MSIE is a terrible burden on everything. It frequently  
involves creating two sites, one for MSIE, and one for everything  
else. MSIE has a talent of doing nothing right. And by right, I mean  
according to standards. And "because Microsoft does it this way" is  
not the standard.

However, I have been pleased with MSIE 7 as it does a very good job  
behaving itself. For my websites, I now don't care about MSIE 6 or  
lower. I give them a pleasant upgrade message. This is, of course,  
assuming the site doesn't behave in MSIE 6 already. If it does, who  
am I to care.
