    I hate IE, but I'm programmer - so I unfortunately need to use it sometimes...

    MrD: An addon for Opera can be downloaded to view pages with the IE engine; Using this, users can use Windows Update using Opera.

    @MrD: Although every web designer/developer I know would want to do that, its not possible. Lets consider how most web designer/developers work:
    Case 1: They create sites for other clients (either as freelancers, or as employees). In that case, something like that would make your client mad and would destroy your reputation. Clients don't care which browser people use, they want their site to work properly on all, or at least on most browsers.
    Case 2: They work for their own site, either by themselves or with a team, earning more money as the site gains popularity. In that case, shutting IE users out of the site, would greatly lessen their own income.

    So that "solution" is not feasible for any professional. Its only viable for personal sites/blogs (and even in that case, you still want to have visitors, its human).

    What I personally do (having been in both of the above cases): I make the site work properly in the newest version of IE, and decently (but not perfectly) for older versions, and put up a notice when a user visits it with older versions of IE (IE6 and below) to notify him/her about their outdated browser and why they have to upgrade and provide a link to download the newest version of IE. IE7 may not be firefox, but its far more of a decent browser than IE6.

    Héy Michelle That's true.... but if i was a webdesigner (not now but maybe in the future, who knows...) I would build sites wich are not viewable from within IE and i would build button's who can send you to proper browser builders like Fx and Opera and some others who have protencial.

    Microsoft does it with there Microsoftie Update page too, so why can't we do the same.

    @patrock: You can't ignore it if you're a web designer/developer, you have to use it to test websites as there is a 50% chance (at least) that the visitor would have IE. Sad, but true...
