Yeah? So if one tries to do something complex on iPad, will Flash bugs disappear? Or will people stop complaining about them?

or CSS, or Flash, or …?

What does that even mean? IE6 was released years before even first releases of Firefox and Safari.

No, it's not. Safari is not stuck with 10 years old version, and Safari team is not disbanded, unlike IE team.
If it wasn't for the "Flagged." I would have upvoted you.
The post has some real issues, but I also find it raises valid concerns. Supporting iOS/android/other devices can prove to become a real pain. OTOH the lifespan of these devices are most likely to be far shorter than corporate desktop computers, and IT departments won't have an option of installing older versions of the browser on new devices.
