There’s no shame in avoiding IE6.

Applications tied to a 10 year old browser – give me a break. Tell a CEO, owner, manager, etc. they can’t have a new computer because the cost of upgrading their software in order to meet the compatibility requirements of the new machine is too costly. Do you really think Office 2010 can run on a Pentium 4 with 512K of RAM?

One main reason to support IE6 has to do with your target audience, and if that’s the case, I really don’t think we should be jumping through hoops to offer them eye-candy; simply say, “IE6 was not meant to do that; it’s a 10 year old car that needs a lot of repair.” Heck maybe we should send them to another directory just for IE6 like some people did for Flash sites ; )

I do it the same way since about 2 years and you are right, that simply works.

In German we have a saying: What’s free is nothing worth (sounds better in German… ) Means to me if you give them IE6 compatibility for free they don’t even think about that they just take it, but if it’s not free they have to decide if it’s worth the money or not and most of the time it’s not.

Right on, sometimes we are so involved in our projects that we forget the basics of how the world works. Don´t forget to also put that nice overlay that prompts IE6 users to upgrade, before you start getting weird reports no one can explain.

And that’s probably the only way to fight it. People actually having a need for ie6 support would (and should already do) pay for it anyway as an extra-deluxe-bonus, the rest of the customers sayin naaaay would bring just less headaches when it comes to press that “publish” button and of course less money that you would probably have spent to cure them headaches anyways.
