I would also like to point out that Facebook have a different business
model from the majority of web sites - they have little to loose by
excluding IE6 - they are not a shop, they are not trying to break into
an existing market, they have a greater bias towards the home user than
the corporate, etc etc.

I don't think very many other sites fit that profile, certainly nothing
that I am in involved with does.

Mike

Subject: Re: [WSG] Facebook downgrading support for IE6

This may be acceptable for facebook if thier statistics indicate a low
amount of IE6 users, however I think this is hardly acceptable for a
majority of my audience, which includes many proffesionals who still run
IE6 so they can use company intranets, etc.

I would love nothing more than to not have to worry about IE6 however I
think that day will be a very long day coming.

Regards,
Anthony.
