One of the most bizarre statistical facts in relation to browser use has to be the virtual widespread numbers that currently exist in the use of Internet Explorer versions 6, 7 and 8. As of this writing, Internet Explorer holds about a 65% market share combined across all their currently used browsers.

Experienced developers understand that CSS3 can be added to new projects with progressive enhancement in mind . This ensures that content is accessible while non-supportive browsers fall back to a less-enhanced experience for the user.
