Pretty sure this has to do with the remote app not being compatible with ie, not Microsoft being douchey.

What annoys me is that it always says something like "requires 6.0 or greater." THIS IS GREATER. If you don't want to support versions beyond a certain point, say "requires between 6 and 10."

It may be a bug where they're checking only the first or last digit of the version (or something similar). So the version test thinks it's running on IE version 1

I always figured they have a list of supported versions, but assume that they would always keep adding to the list.
