Please, please... pretty please... do not deploy something that only
works with a Windows client running IE...

We need cross-platform capability so that Mac, Linux and tablet (iOS
and Android) users can both read AND modify the content.

There are still far too many hosting services, content providers and
packages that serve up stuff that only works on Windows and that would
be an incredibly huge disappointment.
