Tzafir, you are right in assessing the reason that the site was built.
But this can be used to get people off of IE. Remember, the goal is to
get Israeli websites cross-browser compatible. That will only happen
when Israeli users get IE stats down below the 94% that it currently
is, when the rest of the world is <50% IE.

Only send it to your IE-using friends!
