Generally we try and support everyone as long as reasonably possible - no point excluding IE users from features if not necessary (especially since those people probably don't have a choice of browser). But, we have dropped support for IE6 already, because that was really causing big problems. Fortunately, the future of IE is much much brighter these days ... still not one that includes spellchecking by default, though.
