The time is right to dump IE6!
There is now no longer a need to continue supporting IE6. It is an awful browser that cripples web technologies and causes headaches for designers, developers and users. Please stop supporting it immediately, force uninstall it from machines and assist users in upgrading to a 'real' browser (IE8, FF, Chrome etc)

Inappropriate?HI Dorsborne,
the support situation is summarised on the IE Blog:
IE7, IE6 and The Windows Lifecycle
"IE6SP1 will continue to be supported until the OS it ships with expires."
From the Microsoft Support Lifecycle homepage, extended support for the remaining affected operating systems will end as follows:
- Windows 2000 (13/Jul/2010)
- Windows XP (08/Apr/2014)
Bear in mind, though, that lack of support has no impact on the right of someone to use Internet Explorer 6 as long as they want.
Cheers
John Breakwell (MSFT)
