Web designers of the world, why standards are good, and why not IE6…

As a web developer every time I face a new job is a new challenge for me. I only started making website a year ago, it was for coincidence really that I got into this business. I am currently finishing my second year studying computer games development. This course is a foundation degree course (2 years here in the UK) that could lead to to a bachelor degree if I complete a third year. In my first year we had a assignment on website design, just the basics of it. We reviewed issues concerning usability, user centred design, accessibility and standards. No one of my class mates handed a standard compliant design, that maybe have something to do with the fact that the only browsers installed in our machines at college are Internet Explorer 6 and Mozilla 1.5. How were they suppose to create a standard website if they can’t even installed Firefox 2 in their machines? (it’s against college rules).
