derek has a point.

Is it really that hard to code for both? No, at least I have no problem making it work for both.

I don't think M$ will EVER actually TRY to be css compliant. They do everything they can to ensure everyone HAS to stay with them for things to work. Microsoft just wants to make themselves the standard, that's all. I just use a Mac

As far as designing/coding for IE, it's not usually a big deal. I usually design stuff for FF (because it actually does what it's told) and then when I just assume I'll have to go back and tweak things to make it decent on IE. Firefox is the best, but like it or not, IE is still 70% of the market.

But if you think IE is bad on the PC - just try out IE for MAC - that is the largest pile of crap I've ever seen in my LIFE!!!

yeah... it really is awful. i did a site that looks beautiful in firefox, iewin... but the iemac is just hideous for some reason. it had trouble interpreting/rendering simple things like background images.

IE on Mac is horrible I must agree to that! But it's probably heavily outdated aswell, or no?

IE for mac is very bad, but IE 6 on XP isnt that bad, it just has a few differences from FF. not extremely hard to make compliant with IE6.

but its not cuz MS doesnt want to be css compliant or wants ppl to have to be with them or w/e its probably because IE6 is like 3 years old or something. FF is new thats y it has the best support for things, IE7 will most likely have support for the more newer standards and might be better than FF.

But browsers older than IE6 don't have as many problems as IE6 does. And Microsoft should make an attempt to update their software properly if it has bugs since people pay for it.

IE7 won't support partial transparencies in PNG's :/
Microsoft has been saying they will support it for the last 3-4 years but I don't see it hapenning with them. PNG's would make life a lot more easier and websites much nicer.
