All browsers that are as old as IE 6 suffer from similar problems.

For those there are plenty of alternatives. Lets also not forget that MS
is one (if not the only one) that supports outdated OSes as long as they
do. By the time Vista is released XP is over 5 years old.

Yes, MS did quite some things wrong, but other browsers have flaws too or
keep flaws in existence. Ditto for the holy "standards organization" W3C.

It's funny how a "flawed" company like MS did create a nice way to do
things conditionally, in an early stage admitting that things could change
drastically. IIRC, at that time CSS was draft, and unclear.
