You forced me to read an old post of mine and see how poorly it was written. ;o) That said, my point still stands. It's even truer today when it's so much easier to choose from so many more browsers on so many more devices. Fortunately, for the most part--outside of some antiquated enterprise software (and even some newer stuff *cough* sharepoint)-- we've outgrown the 'design for one web browser' model when building web applications.

Your logic isn't exactly sound. PREFERENCE doesn't factor anywhere into the 90%. 90% of people visiting a site is 90%. It doesn't make any difference if a person viewing something in IE *would rather be using* something else. “If 90% of your site visitors hit your site with Internet Explorer, you should not assume that 90% of your site visitors PREFER Internet Explorer and decide not to support other browsers.”
