I can't figure out if they're saying they're dropping support for IE6, or ALL of IE.
If the latter, give me a break. By my count, over 50% of our traffic comes from IE.
Extra development to support IE7 and above last year: 2 hours.
You're telling me it's not worth 2 hours per year to stop yourself from alienating 50% of your market?
Plus, IE8 and IE9 are pretty compatible in that whatever works in Webkit/Firefox will pretty much work every time in IE8+.

- jtheory 14y agoSure, if you're comfortable with a website that will "pretty much work" for a decently-sized chunk (YMMV) of your users. If you'd rather have it "definitely work" for those users, then test it.
- mvkel 14y agoThe key phrase in my comment was "pretty much." You should still test, but there's been virtually no time spent making something work in IE8 that works elsewhere.
