While I do at least take a peek at IE7, I usually insert a messages on IE6 & 7 users simply telling them to upgrade their browser rather than debug. The only people who are unable to upgrade their browsers are generally gov't types. Everyone else needs to stop being so lazy and devs need to stop being so accommodating. I still support 8, which let's be honest, is basically as bad as 6 or 7 in a lot of ways but it still the highest version of XP. I know people think XP is enough and they stay there, but they can still go download Firefox or Chrome.

As a concession to old browser users, I will use XHTML or an older spec on a site that has large IE<9 usage. But I'm sure as hell not going to spend a lot of time debugging and fluffing the pages anymore. These people don't care enough about the Internet to not use IE7 or 8, then I don't care if their experience is sub par.
