At least someone agrees with my sentiments (includes some references for getting CSS3 to work in IE):

I think you will find legacy issues encompass the whole of computing and life generally. I don't think it is acceptable, simply it is the way it is.
You could always get yourself a bunch of Microsoft shares Garin, then you might have some influence over the situation :D

And thats the scary part, we've got people thinking 5 years is an acceptable time to wait for progress while every other area of computing will have gone through several iterations by then.
Awareness of Twitter is commonplace now, debates on browsers are even coming into the news, it won't be long before my granddad is telling me why I should be using Chrome.
Perhaps it won't be so bad, and XP won't have such a large market share in a couple of years, but I can see IE 8 being the new IE 6 for a long while if it's the latest version XP users can obtain, and having IE 9 on XP would (I think) have ensured a large user base of powerful web browsers.
Either that, or Chrome, Firefox, etc will see their market share go up quite a bit.

I know I'll have to move away from them one day - but they just work! That's why I was interested in Freeola's 'Table exit plan' as they're slightly bigger than me ;¬)
How's your 'learn the language' site going these days? - I remember the posts between you and Garin well. You made the right decision not using Tables as I remember you were going to have 200/300 sub domains - that would have been a lot of work to convert to CSS!
I've read in GC that you've now also got a 'web comic' site these days - hope that's working well for you.

I need to learn more about HTML5 and CSS3.

??? Bit confused by that though. Hopefully Freeola.com is here to stay so at some point you'll also have to consider making the move!?
