I'm the writer of the post above and a web dev. Generally, I don't test or develop for IE6 anymore. It's down below 10% share and that will keep falling now that the Win 7 upgrade cycle is on.

So I understand the animus towards IE6 as a technology, but not toward its users.

The truth is, an organization on IE6 will become uncompetitive in the same way that an organization using green screen terminals will become uncompetitive. Old stuff gets flushed out eventually.



Depends on what industry they are in. I don't think a browser choice really matters to quite a lot of companies.
