Then say so. Don't tell people they might not be able to view
your site with MSIE. That runs counter to all the whole point of
the web, which is to make information available to as many 
people as possible. If you can't ensure that 2/3rds or more 
of all web surfers can view your site, you are a poor web 
designer just like the idiot's who use client-side VBScript. 
Whether you hate MS or not is really irrelevant.

No you didn't. You're fighting one gross embellishment with another.

So basically, you want people to switch browsers so they switch to 
Linux. It seems to me you have little concern for freedom of web 
navigation.
