But this is only visual aspect, which I believe, is the only part that's easy to measure. It would be interesting to think on how to make it 'easy' to add other dimensions like Functionality, SEO, Accessibility etc. to the list.
Similarly interesting would be the rendering of these sites with IE5’s competitors, i.e. the major browsers available in 1999. This would have been Netscape 4.5 and some version of AOL, presumably.
Believe 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…
Yes, I'd like to see some chinese sites on the list. For what I can test http://www.alibaba.com/ looks decent in IE6. One in four browsers in china are IE6. Source: http://www.ie6countdown.com/ (can someone check baidu.com, qq.com, sina.com.cn, csdn.net, alibaba.com in IE5?)
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> MS did a lot to turn their lame "DOS command prompt" into a command line terminal; not enough, but a lot. Then they made PowerShell, which removes any complaints one might have!
Well, not any. For example, still no built-in decent package manager able to download and install software along with dependencies.
For example, even Amazon sites on Firefox 3.6.* browsers in the last couple of months show extremely inconsistent behaviour, e.g. inability to submit new searches after an existing search.
I suspect the only sites that actually work on that list without significant issues are Google and Wikipedia, both optimized to be highly compatible.

It had its own set of insane quirks, even worse than Windows IE5. It was the default browser on Mac OS for a long time, until Safari I think.
About a year ago I did the same thing with IE 5.1 for Mac, which was Microsoft's couterpart from this era. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150673019866971....
