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.

I realise you said "devices", but I'd like to stress that "Windows" does not equate with "desktop PC running IE". It could (more and more these days) be a hand-held device where thoughtful design and accessibility are very important. (I'm talking less about screen- readers here as the original post was about graphics.)

It *could* also be an Opera user (Opera defaults to telling websites it visits it is WinIE). This is apart from the growing number of people - even non-techie folks - using Firefox.

The way in which the internet is being used is changing. Just because we (as individuals) might not have changed the way we use it, does not mean a general shift is not occurring - and the hand-held issue for one is big and getting bigger.

Just food for thought.

Vicki.  :-)
