Speaking from my own experience I have not found it a problem developing
stuff which will run on IE5 and Mozilla which uses extensive client side
JavaScript. Obviously you have to think about portability the whole time
and it is probably helpful to abstain from reading any MS documentation.

I use IE a lot, but IE5. One of the hassles with IE is that because it is
integrated with the OS you can't have more than one version installed at once.
That means I can't try a speculative upgrade without a risk. Also as a developer
I need to test in an earlier browser and so I stick with that. The alternative is
VMware to run several copies of the OS at once.
