It's also possible that all of your potential users who were using outdated browsers left...

  Nope. We actually had full support for older browsers and even tested for them before that. This was our SaaS-like application, btw, which was closed to the public. Btw, the public website also had a number of modern browsers close to 99%. Trust me, if we actually needed extra support our sales team would have made us well aware ;) EDIT: Also, this is sort of a statement. I'd rather let old browsers die. I think it's ok to say "no" to customers sometime. I want the web to evolve, might as well play a part on it, forcing people to upload their browsers, or letting their IT department know their outdated browsers are getting in the way of their productivity.

    It's hard for me to see how you can have "full support for older browsers" given that, as per the comment I've linked below, your application wouldn't load for an IE user. > There was one single visit from someone using IE, but the application wouldn't load for him anyway.

    It's great to take an idealistic stance here. I just wanted to point out a potential cost to this approach.
