I feel your frustration too. Not too long ago I wrote a post about how much IE sucks along with the major problems I encountered http://www.michael-li.com/ie-totally-blows/2009/04/24/. I was able to get by testing my design in different versions of IE through this program called IE Tester. It didn't work perfectly but it was able to get the job done. Through careful planning we were able to get our site to work well in the popular browsers. On one of my company's sites we detect their browser and recommend that they upgrade to IE 8 if they're running older version. Anyways the future of web design looks brighter and better. I can't wait till IE7 and lower are completely phased out. IE has been a pain for me ever since I started web design. I feel your frustration too.

So, it is possible but can give you headache sometimes. All browsers that are not w3c standard should be permitted and they should be redirected from all sites to firefox download page ;) It’s possible to accomplish all the tasks using only one old PC, one OS, and only free software, trust me it is, I am the proof :)

I have a theory about Microsoft's take on the web. I blogged about it a while back and I thought you may be interested: http://joreteg.com/post/114081856/is-microsoft-purposely-holding-back-the-web Another approach is to go the route of facebook and youTube and start phasing out IE6 support. (http://ajaxian.com/archives/the-slow-death-of-ie-6-support-youtube-and-browser-placement) IE7 is a bit more manageable (although still a pain) and IE8 usually looks decent enough if it your site works in FF.
