Firstly, I doubt all will go as M$ plans it will. Especially with the market share percentages, that are supposed to drop to less than 1%.
Secondly, if you guys, who wish to drop IE6, wish to work with APAC customers, that might be a tad problematic to have both wishes granted at the same time. Last week I was able to see what browsers several large Asian companies tend to use. IE6 - IE8. 20% IE6, 20% IE7, 30% IE8, rest - other browsers. Thirdly, I totally second voices about corporate lock-downs and intranet apps. From earlier IE6 thread here, I learned about how M$ changed their promises of their help feature working through network, due to it having security flaws. Whoever created nice intranet apps with it, blocked or filtered updates long ago, so that it kept working. If not, they lond had to rewrite the apps. Since rewriting a program you use internally is nowhere near as visible and/or profitable as writing new software for your clients... you don't rewrite. Unless you absolutely must. So M$ update won't do zitch. Finally, if you wanna drop IE6 - drop it. State loud and clear you do not support any browser that's older than 5 years due to rapid web tech development. Or price much higher for it. You should be able to tell who your clients are and what they use, so you should be able to tell if this gonna fly or not. And there's good JS library out there sniffing browsers, quite accurate. Can't recall it's name but should be easy to find via Google. So it's quite easy to log - at least those that do NOT turn off JS. pozdrawiam, Tomasz Borek ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
