On twitter, I asked, “What will you do with IE6 after IE8 is released?” and got a couple responses:

throw it in the garbage

Personally, just before I read that, I vowed not to support three versions of IE.

Continue to make things at least function, because the IE7 users will be the ones to upgrade to 8. 6 will probably live on.

Message users that IE-freakin-8 is out, and stop working to make it do things modern browsers do. They get the degraded stuff.

So.. what are *you* going to do?

My site, RetroGamer, will be launching by mid-March. I’ve made a decision not to support IE6 for obvious reasons.

It will probably cost me in sales, but I think that loss will be offset (at least in part) by the savings made from not having to support or develop for it in the first place.

My day job involves developing for a decent number of branded websites, and as other staff are forced to ues ie6 (as the webdev I am one of the few who are able to run other browsers) I almost always have to sacrifice some aspect of a site to make it ie friendly. –Brendan Myers

It’s not a hard way to change your browser, so everybody who wants to use the internet should let IE6 rest in peace!

Howdy, awesome message! I run a Drupal consulting business and have had it up to my eyelids with IE6 compatibility testing… I just posted some new code that swaps out the Origami bird on my site with a message for ie6 only users linking to this site and spreading the word… and the word is NO MORE!
Thanks for starting the march.
Peace,
