As unfortunate as it is, my bank for e-banking services REQUIRES (via UsetAgent string) IE and/or Netscape 7.x. That's just plain stupid, I've told them to only check the Mozilla part of the string so users with other Mozilla-based browsers like Firefox or Opera can also access the sites... They do not listen.
While this is true, I'd recomend against it.
Widespread accpetance of web standards is not going to happen if site maintainers continue to think 95%+ of their traffic is from IE users.
Besides, any site that requires a particular browser must be of such low quality as to be not worth visiting. I can't think of any sites I visit that have such a stupid restriction.
