In building this site, I had to make it work on IE6, which to some extent is an ongoing process. Im fairly sure there will be another page somewhere that does not render properly.
I have to admit to being a firefox user on both my Vista development box, and Linux workstation, I believe firefox is better at complying with standards, but that doesnt help you when you’re trying to make a page display properly for all.
Depending on who you believe IE6 still accounts for between 60% and 80% of all browsers. Thats too large a number to ignore. What makes things worse, is that if you have Vista as I do there’s only one real option for IE6 testing, and thats to install a Virtual PC - XP installation.
Microsoft do provide a time limited IE6 VirtualPC disk pre installed with XP and IE6. This makes testing with IE6 a possibility for Vista user. You can download this XP setup from microsoft at: this location
