How about a register of sites that /do/ work with non-IE/non-Windows
browsers?  I suspect this would be more useful than the opposite, both
to actual users (after all, you don't care which banks don't work, you
want to choose one that does) and as a PR exercise - it's a "good news"
story, and isn't your usual whinging free software thing.

Anyone know if such a thing already exists?
