Yeah, but if you use a horrible browser like IE7, your experience of the
web is already degraded and substandard.  Not being to access cool new
functionality becomes part of the tradeoff of sticking to out-dated
browsers.  This is not an argument I would make for any core Sakai
functionality (reading, writing, posting, editing, etc); it's an argument
for new, optional functionality only.

Here is what I see at a fairly typical American institution from the past
month of Sakai use: Chrome 42%, Safari  39%, FF 9%, IE 6%.  Web designers
rejoice!
