    The days of IE6 support are at an end
    One of our internal web apps states that it works best with IE5.

    Fortunately, it does work with current IE. Maybe. It works best, at least for me, with Chrome. It doesn't work at all with FF. But which browsers work depends strongly of which version of Java you have installed. It gets cranky with anything newer than 1.5, and hitting the Back button in any browser with any version of Java results in the end user seeing a Java NullPointerException.

    For all the vitriol you hear about IE, even when it was bad it wasn't that bad.



    I take it you never had to support IE 5.5 for Mac?

    That was. lets just say, "challenging" for web dev.

    IE6, which was out for Windows at the same time, was, by comparison AMAZING and BLAZINGLY fast. Mac never got another version of IE, which is not very surprising.

    When IE 5.5 for the Mac came out, it was actually the most standards-compliant browser of the time. But that was OS9, which nobody in their right mind was still supporting by then. So, yeah, supporting it sucked, but that's hardly Microsoft's fault.
