Isn’t that the point of a standards-based website? For it to be viewable across a wide range of browsers? Companies don’t like it when you tell them to “just upgrade your browser” when it doesn’t look right on their office machines because they’re still using IE6.
Nice design but agreed, poor design on his part to not make it work properly in IE6.
That comment about upgrading to IE7 is not a valid argument. Some people just don’t want to upgrade or sadly, don’t know how to. I did hear news of MS auto-updating IE6 to 7 but until then, sadly, sites should be tested in IE6.
I thought the requirements to be on CSS Artillery was to render properly in all of the dominant browsers?
I’m only taking everyone’s word that it doesn’t render in IE6 because I don’t have IE6 on this machine, but I never even thought about testing these designs in multiple browsers.

I actually use Firefox. But the 30+% of people who still use IE6 are going to look at this site and think that the guy can’t code/design properly.
