Probably because Microsoft installs their craptapular browser by default
with Windows and most users don't know there's alternatives. It's part of
our role to advertise browsers like Firefox and Opera to reduce that 80%
ratio imho.
If Microsoft was to pay every developer for the time they lost to make their
application work in their ridiculously standard incompatible software they
call a browser, I'm pretty sure it would go bankrupt.

Makes me wonder how 80% people on the web can use IE!
