I was just looking at statistics regarding browser usage. <br>
<br>
W3Schools shows IE6 usage at 14.5% last month:

W3Counter shows IE6 at 24.84% last month:

<br>
Regardless of what the true usage is, all these statistics indicate
that it's usage is dropping, although not particularly fast.<br>
<br>
At what percentage point do you think people will start to consider IE6
to be not worth supporting anymore? I know a lot of developers feel
that we are past that point already due to how obsolete IE6 is.
However, most clients I've dealt with insist that Safari be supported
with ~5% of the market share, and IE6 even more so.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
