IE6 no more!

We're concerned about Internet Explorer 6. We recognize that this is still a used navigator, but it is becoming increasing difficult to support it and still produce a site that meets the expectations of modern users. Some quick hits on this:

• IE6 is almost ten years old,
• IE6 doesn't support new standards,
• Google and YouTube no longer support IE6

In fact, there's a growing campaign to stop supporting IE6. This simple website provides a very concise case for why the Microsoft browser must be abandoned to promote innovation on the web: http://www.ie6nomore.com It then provides a call to action: embed a line of code that will tell your website visitors still using IE6 to switch to a modern browser.

What are your thoughts on this? Will it be possible to deliver a site that does not support IE6? We highly recommend this course of action, and have recently made an internal decision to stop supporting this browser.
