I know I shouldn't change the dead horse I'm beating in the middle of 
the stream...or words to that effect.  But I'm always amazed that 
vendors will smilingly take our money and at the same time smilingly 
tell us that indefensible design choices on their part will prevent X 
percent of our users from getting their content (it's text retrieval 
folks--no reason it shouldn't work in any browser under the sun).  And 
I'm amazed that we let them get away with it.

What percentage of UW users are using something other than IE? (You do 
know, right?)  What do you tell them?
