Yes, it was people 'stuck' with Window 2000 or other OS that cannot
run any IE past 6. And your 'suggestion' was:

The context was legacy systems. And the decision what to support or
not is always here to make.

IE5 - 1999, IE6 - 2001
HTML 4.01 - 1999
CSS2 - 1

This is getting silly. The last thing I want to do is support Netscape

No one suggested not supporting IE in general, and supporting IE6 is
not at all a binary decision, as you begin to hint toward the end.
There are plenty of ways to cleanly offer reduced functionality. It
is quite professional for any web developer to do cost/benefit
analysis on various levels of

Stop supporting IE or even just IE6 would be very unprofessional, it's
not a question of balls, it's a question of professionalism. Not
supporting IE doesn't damage IE in any way, it's the end user that get

Some company keep using IE6 not always because their employees can't

Maybe the IT industry should just grow some balls and stop supporting
IE6, or IE in general. The the industry has everything to gain and
nothing to lose by severing all ties to IE. People will be forced to
indulge in a newer, better, faster and more secure browser.

I was consulting at Farmers Insurance a while back and managed to "infect"
the organization with Firefox using
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
Works great. Allows unprivileged users to install Firefox right on their
desktops, completely bypassing IT's restrictions.

Why they don't just install Firefox alongside IE6 and instruct people
to only use IE6 for those few, antiquated systems is beyond me.
