IE6 is dead. Long live IE6. Thursday, January 29, 2009

The case to stop supporting IE6 grows stronger everyday.

Not only is IE6 now over 8 years old (which is ancient on the internet) and is well and truly outdated, it adds a major cost to the development and testing cycle, not to mention the visual layout problems that have been the bane of web designers' lives for too long.

...the only reason ever given these days in favor of supporting (IE6) is its market share. That market share is diminishing, and we’ve already reached the second beta of IE8, so let’s start dropping it already.

The post at superfluousbanter.org, The Final Word On IE6 is well worth a read for designers, developers and clients too.
