According to the site, they are part of IE 5.x and higher and Netscape 4.x
and higher. That covers quite a bit of the network. Thats enough of the
internet population that I would consider using it...or at least selling it.

Subject: RE: Low cost web certs from InstantSSL...
They're cheap probably because of the catch-22 of the root certificate.
Hopefully, they are part of <insert browser author here>'s certificate
update program and have their
CA info in current browsers. But that doesn't help for many users with
older browsers that have no concept of why their browser whines about
the certificate on a particular site issued by these people.
I really wish there were easier ways to deal with this problem. Thawte
has been infected by the Verisign's business model, and competing
certificate vendors would be very nice.
