It depends on your audience.  I work primarily with international
students, so the 30% of China, and the 17% of South Korea still using
IE6 is a major concern.  It may not be for your purposes.


My current employer - and the previous employer - use IE6 as their 
official corporate browser. The reason the current employer uses it? 
High end mission critical enterprise web apps that work only with IE6. 
Replacing the apps would cost millions of dollars or more, not worth it 
for the relatively-little gain of using IE7/8. (Can't move to IE9, 
current employer is also still standardized on Windows XP, rejected 
Vista completely, and as far as I know isn't doing anything about 
migrating to Windows 7.)


And don't raise the security issue; I've answered that in other posts.

Things don't change fast in the corporate world!

Thanks Kevin  Tim - that covers it (and brings it back to the wise rule of
thumb; consider the intended audience/user)
