We all do, really. I am at home, and don't have the research here,
but current statistics show that 97.4% of all devices accessing web
content are running on Windows. Every one of these machines has IE on
it. Really, are we mad to develop for anything else? Discuss.
No, we're not. Yes, my Windows box has IE on it. Due to the way Windows
is built, it's almost impossible to remove it. But do I use it? Not if
I can help it (aside from testing purposes). I'd much rather use
Mozilla or Firefox, but it doesn't stop me from having to have IE on my
computer.
Oh, and just an aside: I'm curious to know where your current research
comes from, I must admit. If you're going to quote statistics, quote
the source. Otherwise, it's really difficult to take them seriously.
My $0.02 anyway.
Seona.
