I'm surprised you didn't just go with IE9 as the cutoff? Why?
Windows XP only runs IE8.

Re: IE7 users, we need to talk…
#23Well 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.
Do these corporations not have security issues with these old browsers?
Yes they have.
I work on one of those (I'm the webmaster), they didn't wanted to get me firefox or chrome, because of 'security issues'...

The newer browsers actually come with a lot of feature-induced security problems too. Microsoft continues to release security updates for IE7 so it might be better to use than a newer version of IE that could have HTML5 exploits.

One might ask why they're looking for nursing jobs at work then.
From what I understand, there's a reasonably large market for temporary nurses, for times when a hospital is understaffed. I suspect it's acceptable to look for a new gig before your current one ends.
Edit: It also looks like hospitals, not nurses, are the actual customers.

#30Related: Kogan (an electronics vendor here in AU) has an IE7 tax on all of their products to pay for the upkeep required to develop supporting IE7. This follows the succesful implementation of an IE6 tax some years ago.
