yeah but 90% of developers I know (including yourself) are already using
a Mac.  And the next 9.9% of us are using Ubuntu.  What we really need
is a browser kit that runs on Mac, *nix that allows us to test the
broken W3C standards in IE.

I want to say I must by the only person on the list that uses Windows as
my primary platform.  Which bring me to my next question.  What exactly
is broken in IE besides the fact Microsoft makes it.  I know they had
problems with the 6.x series and even more in the 5.x series but I am
running 7 beta 3 right now and IMHO it is an awesome browser.  I know I
will probably get lynched because I like a Microsoft product but I want
to know what is broken?

I know of one site that will not load if you are using IE, the sad thing
is it is an open source advocacy site.  Kind of hard to convert people
when their first impression of your site an error message.  Anyway back
to my question. Thanks and please don't flame me because I don't blindly
follow the open source path.  That being said I am not against open
source, I am an equal opportunity geek.
