it doesn't matter what you build for, it is up to the user to access the site via whatever device they choose.
as for "all platforms", what about Linux and Unix? did you bother testing for those?
as for dramatic effect, for one, i didn't even notice it, so do you think users will?
i like the site. don't get me wrong, i'm an asshole because, as a user (especially one who choses not to use windows and ie on a regular basis) it is annoying when any site does this.
it has nothing to do with visual design, it has to do with standard, functional web sites.
some users disable javascripting, so the dramatic effect you sought wouldn't work anyway, some users use netscape 4 still, in which it would likely fail. some users require accessbility not provided by your method.
you argue that targeting a single type of user is the reason, but, the web isn't singled out like that.
you don't build a car for one person, you build it for anyone and everyone - if it happens to excluse some, that is the nature of the beast, but it is *built* as one size fits all.
you wanted feedback, i'm giving it to you as a user.
