This is so true. I have had a few cases with our company site where some customer would complain things arent displying right or that they cant login. 99% of the time its due to something the user either had installed on their computer (antivirus, spyware adware blocker, virus etc) that caused the problem. I see people with multiple antivirus programs installed, mulitple ad blockers etc. I had one guy call frantically demanding that our site was not compatible with firefox 3.05. I looked into everything until I finally asked him if he was running any plugins. The guy had an insane number of plugins installed but the clincher: he had the noscript plugin. I assumed someone using noscript and that adamant about things running in Firefox understood how noscript worked. Obviously he did not. And by the way regarding the jquery site displaying correctly. I am currently using and testing IE8 RC1. The site has always displayed fine in IE7, and it displays and works fine in IE8 RC1 but only in compatability mode (like IE7). It does have issues in IE8 standards mode. Never a problem in Firefox, Chrome, Opera or Safari 4 beta.
