Current stats from Apple indicate that around 50% of Mac users
worldwide have made the move to OSX. The other half - still on OS9.x -
are very likely to be using IE5. Even some OSX users still do - I have
one client on OSX whose browser is IE5; when I suggested she use Safari
her reaction was, "Safari? What's that?" She had also not even heard of
Opera, or Firefox.
Remember that few people are as 'browser-aware' as we developers. Most
people just want to get on with their lives and businesses. The
technology they use to do so should be, ideally for them, transparent.
So for now, yes, I test and hack where necessary for IE5. To not do so
is to effectively replace the question with 'Is Mac support worth it?'
IE5.x/Win probably returns similar stats to IE/Mac in most site logs.
Do we ignore it as a target browser, too?
