I think that mark's solution is the good one. We, developpers, know that ie6 sux, and we feel angry about it. But non-developer people don't know about it.

Not supporting ie6 anymore is a good solution only if we inform the ie6 user on as much websites as possible that their browser is outdated. If they see the message every day in 6 month, nevermind which quota of your visitors use it.

Ugh – I wish I could stop hacking for IE6…. but I swear that ALL of my clients still use it and they are the first to let me know when something isnt right – even in the beta phases of a new development. I have to tell them view it in Firefox and then I'll hack for IE after they approve everything. Good for you for stopping the madness…

I still support it — as much as I hate it, I don't want to abandon a good sum of my audience. Besides, the client/CEO is always going to open your site in IE5.5

Oh yeah.. 5th on the list.. IE5.. 88k visitors last month.. I'm not sure those people can actually see the site. I don't think even the ads comply with IE5

Amen. I've had it.. unfortunately where I work (kansascity.com) IE6 is 2nd on the list. 25%.. 1.7 million visitors in October.

IE7 is first with 3 million…

I need a new job.

My stats say that out of 42% of my overall Internet Explorer users, about 10% use IE6. That's enough to convince me.

I'm building my new personal website and I intend to display a clear and unavoidable message for any IE6 users that they need to upgrade.

Although, I'm unlikely to get any IE6 users as my site will be aimed at web developers, but you never know.
