It will certainly help for selling the idea to customers. It was already
easier with Facebook and (more locally) Environment Canterbury dropping
support. The big problem is with larger organisations still (due to very
very poor decision making) having
a) a dependency on IE6 specific features for their internal web-based
systems, and
b) an IT staff incapable of allowing the users to have a better non-IE
browser, e.g. Firefox, thus relegating IE6 to the "browser that's only
used to access that nasty legacy system".
Amazingly, there're still lots of them around.
At Egressive, we explicitly dropped support for IE6 about 6 months ago,
but find that some customers still insist on it (and are willing to pay
our substantial "hazard pay" extra charge for doing so). I think that
price incentives are a reasonable way to go.
Cheers,
Dave

Do you think I can sell this to clients?
I’m jumping for joy at the thought of it!
