Delta Dental - Browser Compatibility Statement
I bet you that, if those people looked up their own websites, IE5.5 and IE6 users combined, would add up to less than 1% of the site's total traffic.
Then there's the massachusetts commonwealth care website. It ONLY works on MSIE. If you load the website in any other web browsers, none of the links work. Its like they used some crazy random directx objects instead of regular old HTML A links for links. It's craziness.

That's probably just a holdover that no one bothered to change. That website was obviously not designed in 2001. It looks too modern.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

Hilarious.
Therefore, we have designed our applications to work best for the users of the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer. We design, develop and test applications to work correctly, though some applications may not have the best performance and presentation with other, less common browsers.
Then they link to IE 5 and IE 6.

And Netscape! But if you're using a "less common" browser, watch out. But as long as you use NETSCAPE, you're golden. Netscape.

You mean ActiveX, not DirectX.

You pay $612 a year to get a maximum of $1000 per year in benefit? I looked into their plans, they seem to be a complete rip off. You're most likely going to save a ton of money just paying for your own dental stuff without insurance.
