The real question here is who is the 45% using IE. This number includes devs who just use it to test their own sites and wont bother opening other peoples sites in IE. This number includes a bunch... huge bunch... okay massive bunch of workers in some places eg china with strict regulations on what they can access on internet and what they can and cannot instal on company computers. I dont think this is who Dennis is targeting... So that would make it irrelevant demographic group. Some of this IE traffic is not actually human traffic. I could go on and on, but I hope you've got the point. The general idea here is who exactly is making up the 45% and you may find that the valued traffic is coming form the 55% -- Steve Obbayi Software Developer http://sobbayi.com ----- "Eva Kimathi" <evakimathi@gmail.com> wrote:
Its in the numbers man! The statistics imply that over 45% of your intended demography will not truly enjoy your site as you intended it to be enjoyed.. Am just saying that till society styles up or IE gets that facelift it needs, might as well dance to the piper's tune.

Eva its no longer about entrainment, but not having to code *all* your applications for all browsers except IE and then for IE I mean , IE getting it all wrong a second time is taking a joke too far Why IE only?
The 45% also includes all those on Windoze who use IE to download Firefox, Opera and Chrome, then never use it again. ./Ok3ch On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 7:52 AM, Steve Obbayi <steve@sobbayi.com> wrote:

with the introduction of Digital TV, the big percentage using Analog TV had to switch whether they liked it or not. Why not have developers force IE users to style up by having a banner that informs the users that their browser is not supported and tells them where they can download alternatives. If most sites did this, the problem may reduce. The same way this guys https://forodha.kra.go.ke/ do not care about the 40% not using IE; at least our sites will work on IE, albeit broken
I've also been wondering what happened to http://www.nation.co.ke/ when viewed from my chrome browser.
It works well on Chrome 8.0.552.224 beta
