YUI's graded browser support chart dropped support for IE6 under Windows 2000 this month:

But IE6 under Windows XP continues to cling on, and it isn't in their forecast for the next quarter:

Which means Yahoo, at least, expects IE6 to still be relevant in 6 months.
- vaksel 17y agodoesn't really apply to startups. Yahoo is huge and mainstream, they HAVE to support every browser, they can't present a crappy looking site to 5% of their users. That 5% means millions of users getting a crappy experience, and possibly going elsewhere. On the other hand, startups can afford to show a "crappy looking" version of the site since its more or less expected. + the % of IE6 users is much smaller for startups, since startups typically have early adopter users.
