And big enterprises are places with deep pockets. They'd happily pay the IE6 tax.
I'm not really serious about the idea, but the idea of taxing users of outdated software could lead to some pretty interesting applications.
- swombat 16y agoThe enterprises wouldn't decide to pay the IE tax. The decision would have to be made by the end-users forced to use IE6. And they wouldn't pay.

These policies are put in place by their IT organization which in some cases manages all applications and patches that are pushed down to an individual's machines. In those large companies even Windows patches are managed in house and not through the standard Windows update process. I think those companies will easily stomach an additional charge for IE6 since they're used to paying for everything else. That said, I'm sure they'll use their size to attempt to negotiate themselves a better price.
