    Hardly kills it outright, although it's a massive step forward. My standard contract specifies that I only do basic testing in IE6 these days, anyway, although many of my clients (and my personal site, if I'm honest) still see fairly significant amounts of IE6 hits (8-10%, on semibad).

    That said, my recent relaunch isn't tested in IE6 (and there's at least a couple of things that I know won't display right) - it's my site and I don't care :) I still wouldn't leave such rough edges on a client project though - although I often simplify IE6 versions of client sites significantly.

    Email from Google apps today... "over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0"


    As you said Andi, it doesn't kill it outright but it's only a matter of time now. Looking at our analytics for all out clients sites this morning and there is that 8 - 10% still hanging around but I should imagine, over the course of the next 6 to 9 months, to find that number to fall quite significantly.

    I will probably still continue to run a browser check through IE6 just as a precaution also. I just wont get to hung up on the little bits any more.
