Which browsers do you support?

Five web browsers
Chrome, IE, Opera, Safari and Firefox

I’m currently working on a document of guidelines for our web team and web developers. Something that I’ve been asked to include is to indicate which browsers we support.

Digging around, for example, Yahoo! have their fine Graded Browser Support page which lists specific version numbers of various browsers. Google Apps, on the other hand, supports

“the current and previous major releases of Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari on a rolling basis. Each time a new version is released, [they] begin supporting that version and stop supporting the third most recent version.”

What do you folks do? Do you have browser support guidelines, either written down or not? Where do you draw the line (do you still support IE7, for example)? What are your criteria for what you support and don’t support?

And what about mobile devices?

I’d love to read your thoughts about this.
