check out the John Battelle blog for a site that doesn't render on IE. And he has no plans to change it. This is the most important web blog. battellemedia.com

Please note, that Firefox 1.5, Konqueror and maybe also Safari now support SVG. This means that these browsers can visit sites like this and see all graphics: glitchnyc.com With MSIE, that's not possible, yet. The same accounts for non-ascii URLs, like næstved.dk/ or pølse.dk/ which work perfectly in all moderns browsers, just not MSIE. PNG graphics also works well in all modern browsers except MSIE on Windows (MSIE/Apple does it well). Some of this can be solved by using plugins, but don't expect all people to install these. MSIE 7 will introduce better PNG support, but as far as I understand, it will not provide SVG support, and it will not be available to Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP/XPSP1 users, but only to XPSP2 and Vista users. My guess is, that we won't see a deployment rate for MSIE 7 above 75% of Windows users for at least a couple of years, and for users of pre-XP systems, Firefox is the only way to go. I believe that Firefox will remain very strong for a number of years to come, and if websites start to use features, that only exist in Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, Konqueror and Safari, but don't exist in MSIE 7, Firefox will remain very strong for a very long time.
