all this said, i would still guess people on this list will have a higher percentage of IE5 and non-IE browsers with your users, in part because you probably have a larger mac audience than the general population. you probably also have more users with the lower resolution. these are obviously just guesses, though.
Probably. Should we be building sites to the browsers/users or just build them to the standards and wait for browers/users to catch up? Obviously while I'd like to do the latter, in practice I do the former. I do try to avoid the browser-specific hacks that were mentioned earlier however (for the already mentioned fear of their need for migration). This is common in CSS to produce hacks that display the same in MSIE and other browsers. Better, in my opinion, to only use CSS that most modern browsers understand.
