Those were examples of demographic criteria, 'tis all.

I don't disagree. However, assuming all platforms can't be supported on day
one, IE is the logical place to start.
Also, I'm not sure it's clear to me that Windows users don't try different
things. Close-mindedness, of course, is not platform specific; non Win/Mac
users can be equally stubborn (although often in different ways).

I agree completely. The lack of OSX is a gap so large you could drive an SUV
through it!

in which case I'll chear.
Please let it be so! Lack of REBOL/View on OSX has held me up from switching
over to the Mac as my primary platform.
> But as to the plugin - if you have to tell users to switch their OS or
browser before they can use your site, then from their POV REBOL's a step
backwards.
Agreed. Although many would argue that requiring a browser plug-in at all is
a step backwards...
