I watch the trendy browser crowd with amusement. Not that there's anything wrong with it, I just have a different persepctive, working in IT and using applications which HAVE TO run, as a literal life and death matter. I run vanilla XPP SP3 IE7, and when I (rarely) encounter something which does not run on a generic windows box, I just say "how cute, the developer is twleve" and move on.
