That galls me to no end...  The world does not revolve around Windows/IE,
despite what Microsoft would like the unsuspecting public to believe..
Increasingly less so, in fact, as certain distributions of Linux gradually
become more novice-friendly.  Any company that designs a website that
requires one particular browser (especially when it's such a
standards-to-the-wind beast as IE) deserves to be shot on sight with
caution-orange-paint-loaded Super Soakers.  Or maybe hot pink.
