Browser Market Pollution: IE[x] is the new IE6

I'm certainly a proponent giving a different experience to different browsers: http://paulirish.com/2011/tiered-adaptive-front-end-experien...

If you're in a position where you can totally ignore IE8 users, that's fine with me; but that's not where most developers are at.

And I agree; the more time goes by, the more I want to provide a super simple version of each site to oldIE, like throwing the Universal IE6 Stylesheet to all of them.

I'm convinced most developers will be able to ignore most of the 76 potential IE engines though; even if it wasn't possible to override I can't see too many people browsing with IE11 set to masquerade as IE7.

I agree. I overblew that point in my post. Still, there will be 5-10 significant IE versions at play.
