My whole point is... why bother?
Why not? As I've written some posts back - most people have no extra
expenses (or extra time / effort) delivering compliant sites, the only
time consuming part is tweaking *for* IE, so I still can't see the point.
It is JUST a browser, heck, you don't even need to pay for it.
I don't have it on laptop or smartphone (no MS platform).
Years ago, in a different organisation I worked for we made a piece of
'Windows Only' software available for free. The 'Apple People' screamed
their heads off for three months until we also made their version
available (at GREAT expense to the organisation). I left about nine
months later, and at that point 0 (zero) people had actually downloaded
it. Not one. Zilch.
That is sad. And yes, it happens.
But, again, web document is not any kind of compiled /
platform-dependent application, you don't have to refactor it for every
target device, it is intended to be browser independent, if it's done
properly.
