According to the world wide web consortium stats, only 28% of people use IE. W3C tends to get tech savvy visitors, Net Applications shows IE at 58% in October and losing 1% per month. Either way, you're throwing away roughly half of your revenue if you only sell to IE users.
Raymore, you are not misunderstanding me. But admittedly my use of "force to use" was a very poor choice of words.

For me, it's less a matter of revenue than it is sharing the total experience of the beauty of homoerotic fantasy I've created. IE produces beautiful embedded calligraphic fonts; Firefox et al. do not. It's easy to make IE play endless background wind and surf sounds with voiceover as well, so essential to the total experience; not as simple with Firefox et al. It's simpler to stop right-click in just IE, and at least help keep the beauty where it belongs.

Yes, I know that with complex coding, I might get everything to work the same way in every browser (for a while), no matter what the browser, but that is not a frustrating complexity that I want to take on. I don't want to "get the money" so much as I simply want to "share the beauty". (Okay, maybe icky "airy fairy", but I'm an artist, not an entrepreneur.)

Raymor, if I lose revenue, so be it. Those who want to share the beautiful experience of what I have created can easily acquire IE, if only for my experience.

Yes, personally I use Firefox for almost everything, but I still have IE in reserve for certain special sites that truly excel in IE alone.
