I think it would make your life a little too easy, Ben :)

According to this page, IE6 is still being used as much as IE7, which is totally baffling to me. I would think you would need to go out of your way to not upgrade to IE7, or you just have automatic upgrades turned off.

I was actually pleasantly surprised to see that Firefox is way out in the lead now.

At what point do you think it is reasonable to stop supporting IE6? I’m guessing when it drops below about 10%.

jark,

that’s what i get for making nerdy dork jokes. And i guess I wouldn’t want the site do not display at all. I just don’t want to deal with this crappy browser anymore.

luke, i’d love to drop it now, although i know i can’t. i’d like to just put a special bar across the top of every site we develop in IE6 that says don’t expect this site to look the same because you’re using a really crap browser. It wouldn’t appear in any other browser and you wouldn’t have to waste time hacking sites. oh well.
