I actually had a laugh today, I was at a shopping centre and there was an internet booth folk could use if they want.
all five machines were in use, and all five had the option of using IE, firefox or chrome.
all five fools were using IE, and I was just thinking to myself, even with an option people still "prefer" to use this poor excuse for a browser. I just shook my head and walked on...

I'm doing a site right now and my client uses IE8, I cone now in html 5 and keep forgetting that damn shim code. I'll learn her later on the joys of FF and chrome, lol.

IE compatibility has been one of the main sources of problems while designing my site. I could spend half an hour trying to achieve a good displaying in IE of something that I had written in less than 5 minutes.

I have found with a good css reset and using the shim, it wont look that bad. Some features ( box shadow, rounded corners...ets) wont show, but there is jquery code out there that will counter act that if you want.

I too hate IE

I have the solution... it's really simple believe it or not... in the header you put this...

HTML: 
<!--[if IE ]>
	<script type="text/javascript">
		window.location = 'ie.html';
	</script> 
<![endif]-->

then ie.html looks like this...

HTML: 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Internet Explorer Sucks!</title>
		<script>
			alert("I'm terribly sorry but your browser isn't up to web standards. Please visit on of the following links for a better browser");
		</script>
	</head>
	<body>
		<h2>I'm terribly sorry but your browser isn't up to web standards. Please visit on of the following links for a better browser</h2>
		<ul>
			<li><a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/">Mozilla Firefox</a></li>
			<li><a href="http://www.google.com/chrome/">Google Chrome</a></li>
			<li><a href="http://www.opera.com/">Opera</a></li>
			<li><a href="http://www.apple.com/safari/">Safari</a></li>
		</ul>
	</body>
</html>

Then... just to catch the idiots that also don't have javascript enabled you need a no script...

CSS3 PIE works great for the most common CSS3 effects. There's no scripting or work-arounds, you just drop one extra line in each CSS block that uses those properties. The cherry on top? Only IE downloads the file, so it won't slow down other browsers.
