#2You've got to appreciate the irony of microsoft.com being among the worst of the ten (if not the very worst) to render.

Haha, I was just thinking that myself.

True. And I think they went with the bare minimum necessary to display a functional web page (Google's extra junk is mostly analytics); the side-effect being a more usable page on older browsers.

#6Believe it or not, in my previous company people were happy with IE4/5/6. I mean really happy with the blue icon in the middle of their screen. They did not want to move to IE7 even because it was simply "enough" for them. Happy married life, complete in all respects. And this was year 2011, not very far back.
Even in China, they say, a significant percentage of population lives happily with IE6 or below. Don't know the latest stats, but I am sure not much has changed there for good. If captain Jack Sparrow needs a broken compass for navigation, then broken compass is exactly what he'd use for navigation. What can anyone do about it?

#7Look way more decent than I thought, google is apparently the only one really supporting ie5 as their interface seems absolutely unchanged.
Also noticed the irony of microsoft.com being the worst, maybe it shows that the company wants to move forward, maybe it's just lazyness/rationalisation.
Also it's kind of abvious that amazon works well, they don't want to lose potentials customers (maybe same for google)

Also probably because Google and Wikipedia's design wen't largely unchanged in the past 13 years.

This has nothing to do with CSS3.
Wikipedia still looks good because it uses tables for layout. It's worthy of IE 5.5's good graces at that point.

And yet you still have a "command prompt" so that you can run your DOS programs as well as "compatibility mode" so that older applications can run on the post-XP systems.
