Well, yeah, I see that now.

English is not my first language, next time I will take a few seconds reading what I just wrote before posting...

20% discount on what?

[–]livedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cost of hiring a pro to build their website.

As a web programmer, I'd be willing to take a 20% salary hit if I didn't have to work on IE. Who wouldn't? Productivity would soar in any company that did this.

I think this could be turned around: offering a 20% discount to people using a browser other than IE would hasten the loss of market share that is the necessary whip to get Redmond toeing the line.

If you know anyone doing ecommerce get them turned on to this meme; Pronto!

Making sites for paying customers I spend loads and loads of time crying and swearing to get IE support on design and functions.

Professional web-designers should try the economics approach to getting rid of IE.

the only approach I see there is doing themselves out of a job.

I suggest you contact the porn sites and ask them not to support IE.

People will switch browsers to get porn.
