Re: Upgrade from IE 6 already...

The simple answer is Yes.

I also have to agree with you that it does not matter. You can still view the page in a non-complient browser, or with javescript turned off, or flash not installed or ad blocking not turned on.

It is the web developers job to get their pages to work as best as possible in all browsers and versions.

Example. My most visited domain
IE 71% of visitors
Firefox 20% of visitors

For the IE users
65% are on IE7
24% are on IE6
10% are on IE8
1% are on IE5

I cannot ignore the 25% that are IE6 or lower, BUT if you are one of those you expect to see sites being a little funky.
