A number of people have responded "just notify IE6 users..." or some variation to get them to change or switch. Digg did a comprehensive study and found the majority of IE6 users would switch if they could. Its a good read http://ajaxian.com/archives/digg-takes-the-time-to-study-the-pain-of-ie-6 http://ajaxian.com/archives/digg-takes-the-time-to-study-the... and for all of you advocating that education is enough either hasn't bee paying attention, or aren't actually developing for the web.

>"for all of you advocating that education is enough either hasn't bee[n] paying attention, or aren't actually developing for the web" In 44% of cases we have either no admin access (37%) or incompatible MS Windows (7%) given as the reason - in both cases these are not valid reasons alone. At least one browser can be installed per user without admin access (unless they mean "no permissions to install" which would really be covered by the 32% block). As for incompatibility, Opera 9.5 (for example) can be installed on MS Windows 95 (requiring a free winsock upgrade from MS). How old is their version of MS Windows? The numbers using MSIE surely do not all come from poor eduction but that's not to say it's not a large chunk.
