Hi Matt
You underweight the losses to our businesses that may occur if a single
platform takes over the web and dictates its conditions. I didn't say
that in the special case of the original posting it's not a feasible way
to focus on IE6 users. But webdesigners that do it all the time poison
the well we're all drinking from. It's good to remember that from time
to time ;)
