But in all seriousness, if you were setting up a website for a client who
has never been on the web before (no server logs to analyse) and is
marketing their gates/fencing business, would you try and support 4.0
browsers? Has the time come to just have a disclaimer on the site stating
support for 5.0 browsers or above?
Interesting.
You support what you need to support.
I haven't thought in terms of supporting 4.0 or even 5.0 browsers for a long
time. If you're looking at version 4.0 and 5.0 of IE, for instance, you're
talking about quite old operating systems.
The projects we've been working on lately have operating system dependencies
(due to font rendering technologies) that would make it pointless aiming for
an IE version less than IE6. The versions of windows that shipped with those
older versions of IE can not support the writing systems we are using.
If we have to think in terms of what we're supporting, it generally isn't in
terms of browser versions, rather we tend to plan in terms of operating
systems or font rendering technologies we need to target or support.
But then thats the nature of the projects we work on.
One project we're planing, a small digital library, we probably will not
support any version of IE.
