HI, (I'm new here)<br><br>The problem we have with IE6 is a lot more than CSS compatibility. It's poor JS performance, PNG incompatibility, etc, etc. makes it hard to work with. I know there are patches for everything but it's extra work and since January we started to charge more for making sites IE6 compatible.<br>
<br>Seeing how charts are doing, I'm pretty confident that at the end of the year IE6 will stop being considered on about 50% of new projects.<br><br><br clear="all">Ivan Soto Fernandez<br>Web Developer<br><a href="http://ivansotof.com">http://ivansotof.com</a><br>

I think it will be a price point. I'd go about testing it by adding additional cost for each browser the project support with higher costs for deprecated or non-compliant browsers and see what the market will bear.</p>

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>
