[consulting] At what percentage do you think most new sites will stop supporting IE6?

[rajasekharan]

The large numbers of IE6 users is mostly because of the dominance of 
Windows 2000 in some Intranets. Therefore 'nudging' the user into 
upgrading won't work as the people in charge are Administrators. 
Besides, IE7 cannot be installed in Windows 2000. (via msdn blog 
<http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/05/27/422721.aspx>). Changing to 
Win XP or similar will be an enormous investment for any company or 
college. This is further worsened by the fact that there is no real 
benefit to be had from upgrading to windows xp.

The emphasis on safari from clients must come from the consideration of 
the number of Mac users and not necessarily the usage statistic.
