There are almost no "improved site features" that are inherently inaccessible to Macs. Some ActiveX functionality, yeah, but if I were a PC'er I'd be very leery about allowing untrusted web sites to use ActiveX on my computer anyway.

The vast vast majority of sites that are inaccessible to Macs are that way purely because the developer/programmer/coder was too lazy or ignorant to conform to establish standards and chose instead to use proprietary MS junk.

Techstyles, it's entirely possible that Mac users would constitute more than 1% of your customer base if your site were more accessible to them. What happens is, when we get that "you must use MSIE" crap, we go away and we spend our money somewhere else.

I spend lots of money on the Internet -- I live out in a pretty rural area without much shopping anywhere around. Probably more than 90 percent of my non-grocery spending is over the Internet. This year alone I've spent several thousand dollars on purchases made over the Internet. And I use a Mac. If a site isn't willing or able to make their site accessible to my Mac, I click the "back" button and go spend that money somewhere that does.
