Starting in September 2008 we will no longer offer IE6 support as standard in any of our proposals. Clients will have the option of requesting it, at a price.
The delay in dropping support has been the lackluster corporate adoption of IE7, which is now shifting.
We will be incorporating a script, similar to the SaveTheDevelopers.org script for all internal projects to help inform visitors. We will also request that clients do the same. –Shayne Yestal

I too feel that IE6 has existed for a very long time. It should have died long ago, too. But, better late than never. I support this march and would like to mention that our company too is going to stop supporting IE6 from next month.
Thanks. –Anurag Sharma
Internet Explorer 5 for the Mac is younger than IE6.
…the release of Mac OS X v10.1 on September 25, 2001 included the final version of IE 5.1 for Mac OS X. IE 5.1 for Mac OS 8 and Mac OS 9 was released on December 18, 2001. –Wikipedia
Versions prior to 5.1 were what we commonly refer to now as “beta” releases.

Hi,
Great project here and I agree, IE6 should have been dropped ages ago.
I no longer cater for IE6 in anywork I do.A developer friend of mine and I are actually wanting to start a movement to get more users off IE completely 😉 Will send you an update once we move forward with it.
Thanks. –Cerven Cotter

The original iPods were introduced in April of 2001 but weren’t available until October 23, 2001. That makes the first generation iPod younger than Internet Explorer 6.
Incidentally, the iPod is 2 days older than Windows XP.
