Seems much easier, more helpful, and less hassle than continuing to support obsolete browsers but applying a surcharge. I'm sure they did research to figure out the best way to do this. The thing about your idea is that by just telling people to get rid of IE they'd lose business from the uninformed like my parents/grandparents (if they were AU). No matter what it is (iTunes, Chrome, FF) they always call me and ask if they're going to get viruses or ask me to fix their PC because that "chrome thingy slowed down my pc too much". Maybe they will drop support if this doesn't work but it's always better to try to not piss off customers so if this covers the expense of optimizing for IE without losing customers it'll be better (Not to mention the great PR they get in the tech world for it). | ||

Hurray for Kogan! +100, I wish this had happened in the ie6 days! :D :D Looks like they are just getting back what browser compatibility work cost them. | ||

Some of the workstations still ran IE6 T_T. They blocked iframes and I remember having to add <!if IE6--> tags in some places to make things render properly. | ||

Its a shame 30seconds spent on their website made me go back to not giving a shit I came to know them during the GFC. Remember Rudd's stimulus package? Kogan starting selling $700 or was it $900 TV's | ||
