It was even worse than that: you often had to budget for different version numbers of the same browser, or even different versions of a single version number. I'm a little foggy on the details, but I believe IE7 would force pages into "compatibility mode" if they were hosted via intranet. I was working for the government at the time and our apps were all hosted on the agency network. It was hell.

Some you could do client-side and others would have to be rendered server-side. As poster above said, you would spend half your design time on getting the thing to look/run the same everywhere. Things are a lot closer now.
