It's not like I have to do a "little extra work", it's a lot of extra work. We can't do transparent PNG's because IE6 doesn't support them. We can't use PNG fixes as it overlays buttons that are absolutely positioned as it gives an overlay on them.
I'm not asking for things to be perfect, I'm asking for a standard and for people to stick to it. Microsoft are useless when it comes to browsers. Yeah they more or less invented ajax with OWA but beyond that they are just a pain.
I think you have given it to the situation, it doesn't have to be like this. There are many browsers that don't have these issues. When I test my website in Mozilla, I don't find myself checking Safari, Chrome or Opera, I know they work.
If you looked around the real world you would spot there is a whole campaign to bring IE6 down, its not just a few people "Whining and moaning", its a whole world annoyed with a stupid browser that will have been active for 13 years when it departs. It's with Microsoft having the worst update policies and coming out with stupid comments like "let's make HTML 5 native to Windows 7". Native for gods sake. The guy should have been shot when he came out with that comment. Sacked and forgotten, that is the mindset that has got Microsoft where it is today with IE6.
