Meanwhile, they never have and never will support Groove, one of their newer products, on Vista 64-bit. Lovely.

Everyone use transparent PNGs all over the place to annoy the crap out of IE6 users til they upgrade.

Agreed, doesn't make it impossible to do anything but sometimes requires extra styling. Though as above you can get around the transparency issues.

I call bulshit on that. It's more around 8-10% at most

DaddyHalbucks · 08-16-2009, 10:09 PM

I think they mean out of the total people that use IE 15 - 20% still use IE6.

For my biggest site it's 17.60% IE6 (out of all people that use IE)

1. 7.0 534,109 45.08%
2. 8.0 441,119 37.23%
3. 6.0 208,526 17.60%

But only 60% of the total visitors uses IE

1. Internet Explorer 1,184,841 60.49%
2. Firefox 555,915 28.38%
3. Safari 93,093 4.75%
