Even if your numbers are right, and "only" 40% of people use IE6 (a
point that I, and others find suspect. I'm seeing 60% at my site), I'm
still at a loss why you would want to have a lousy experience for 40% of
your customers? Or 20%. Or 10%. It seems to me that any
business/organization would want EVERY possible customer. Until the
number gets into the <2% range, it seems silly -- even lazy -- to not do
the few simple things it takes to behave reasonably well in IE6.
But hey, I'm sure your competitors are fine with it...

Subject: [css-d] IE6 really is dead to me. Here is why.
IE6 is already less than 40%. If the current progress were linear we can
expect to see IE6 down to less than 10% by the end of this year.
Personally I think the change won't be linear, but whether we end up
there faster or slower, the destination is the same: the gradual phasing
out of IE6. (I'm sure we will eventually see a point where IE6 continue
to linger around 2 or 3 %, just as IE5 does.)
