It always astonishes me when something is designed for IE. But for us in the Mac using world we've always been on the outside of "mainstream" computing, so anything that is by coincidence or intention Windows-centric always seems a bit silly.
However, it's 2009, not 2006. MS has updated IE with two major revisions in that time which alone I would think would present some kind of support challenge for any company developing for IE... especially if they were developing exclusively for IE. At some point it should make sense to them to support either FireFox or a webkit browser (both have cross-platform advantages; while FireFox has the market share it seems likely that webkit will quickly catch up as more mobile devices implement it.)
Anything browser-based that's been in development over the last 3 years really ought to open up and reap the advantages.
