[dba-Tech] IE 6 and the rest

I have just spent two extra days on designing a web site to work with IE and
it various flavours. Last week it was the same and next week I am doing a
major POS web site and rest assured if I have to make this site IE compliant
it will cost me and the client's a number of days and thousands of dollars.

On Monday, as the site is internal, I will be making a strong pitch to not
use IE at all and may be going so far as to remove direct IE access from all
the desktops.

Amongst us web site designers there is slowly becoming a united dislike for
Microsoft's unwillingness to embrace the new industry standards. MS of all
the companies has the depth and resources to easily reach the current
standards and become a leader again. I can not explain their reasoning and
reluctance to move on but now I can only move to another product and wait.
