Sounds like an excuse for insufficient time spent in requirements gathering.
Oh well.
Current stats from StatCounter suggest that Worldwide, IE6 has just over 10% usage:
which goes down to just over 4% in the UK:
Even allowing for IE7, something like two-thirds of people are using a browser that ought to be capable of displaying the site without issues. That figure may be higher here due to the number of people accessing the site from a client's, which is what makes it worth fixing. However IE6 is no longer a dominant browser and, if necessary, it will just get a barebones skin with almost no styling whatsoever.Comment

Nick, stop defending yourself. No need. The app’s fine and just needs a little cosmetic tuning; much better than the tulipe I’ve seen clients put into production.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Just checked HAB Inc.com and IE 6 is nearly 20% of visitors.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Just a suggestion - as there has been talk of a phone/netbook/workzone forum why not wrap IE6 into this category ?Comment
