Re: IE7 users, we need to talk…
#2Supporting IE7 is the worst part of my day job. I end up building new modules in Firefox, making sure they look the same in Chrome, then testing IE7.
Then I have to fix all the stuff broken in IE7 and ensure it still looks good on the modern browsers.
My ultimate goal though is for it to be presentable in IE7 with a top notch experience in anything newer, makes it a little easier.

#3Well done. But many IE7 and IE8 users aren't by choice. They are employees at large companies with no ability to upgrade their corporate computers.

One might ask why they're looking for nursing jobs at work then.

Probably because they're at a job so crappy that their employer forces them to use IE7.

Do these corporations not have security issues with these old browsers?

True enough - but it sounds like the site making the offer is a job-board.

I think the only exceptions are Server 2003 SP1 and IA-64 versions of Windows, none of which are common.

#10> We are offering to buy a new computer with a modern browser for any of our customers who are stuck with IE7
Great PR, since practically no-one is going to take them up on the offer. If you're on IE7 you're probably on it because MegaCorp's Intranet Application '02 Enterprise Edition doesn't work on anything else. Meaning the new computer will break their LOB application.
It's also possible it won't cost them any money in the long run, if their definition of "customer" is limited to the people posting jobs [1].
