Rey Bango makes some good points here, mostly about not being lazy. Everyone loves that (apocryphal?) story about the start-up that claimed to save — what was? — $100k by not supporting IE, but it also seems a bit absurd and borderline hostile to turn it into a boast. In my own experience, if you're thorough and disciplined in your approach, it isn't generally that much extra effort to support reasonably modern versions of IE.
