    The best thing about this, is it actually does say that, and it displays the tax, but it doesn’t look like it applies it.

    How do I know a colleague of mine is using IE?? Simple: he calls me asking to help in solving a PC issue…
    Me: “What browser do you use?”
    He: “Browser? What’s that??”

    It make sense because it puts a lot of burden on developers to support old browsers and technologies. I too will put a warning message like this on my blog… no tax ofcourse. ha ha.

    Brilliant! I once spent $300 bucks to get a developer from India to help recode my site so idiots using IE 6 could successfully log in (because I was getting sick of the “your site is broken” messages). And now… IE 7 dopes. I ought to re-coup some investment by posting the same warning.

    So let me get this right….

    Because YOU choose to jump to the newest car out there bc it looks pretty your going to kick people for not jumping with you? WTH?!?!
    Seriously, Why do you people have to change every thing to the newest junk so fast anyway? half the time the first year or 2 is spent working out the bugs!

    XP is still better then vista. Perhaps they got better with 7 (matter of personal taste perhaps) but the point is, New does not always mean better. and perhaps sites should remember that.

    look at flash.. they update their junk so many times, that hackers now use fake updates to get into peoples pc’s… why??? because people have to “upgrade” so often instead of “if it aint broke dont fix it” and they took advantage..
