I gave up on IE at version 7. Not only is it a machine killer on my crappy old laptop, it even distresses my super-optimised dual-processor box. I have the versions there for testing but wouldn't willingly use them for surfing.

Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.1: Safari Version 4.0.3 (6531.9) seems to be fine, as does Opera 10.00 build 6652

Works fine on IE 8.
I wouldn't worry about the other browsers personally.
I do have quite "interesting" discussions with a friend who is a web designer, and he loathes having to ensure a web site is compatible in the 3 million different browsers out there. It adds additional cost and headache.
I've advised him to try to encourage his clients and their customers to just using IE, but they are having none of it.
I hope another 20 browsers come out in the next few years, and then the Internet will be really pooched for users and designers.
Perhaps then people will realise that too much choice can be a bad thing.
I'll be fair and can tolerate 2 browsers in the market.
Whether that's IE and A.N.Other or just 2 A.N.Others doesn't matter.

Now I feel REALLY guilty
To make up for that and because you were the only one to test using Chrome ...
Thank You OrangeHopper

...who said that??
I find all the browsers behave the same except IE6 which, unfortunately, many large companies are still using. Constantly looking for that missing setting that only IE6 worries about. Even something as Microsoft centric as iframes behaves differently in IE6 from every other browers.
