Here’s an interesting news item concerning older browsers:

Basically, this company charges a 6.8% fee during checkout for users who buy things on their site while using IE7. If users upgrade or use a different browser, there is no fee.

It does make a little bit of sense to charge for something that sucks up a lot of development time. :stuck_out_tongue:
