Yes, unfortunately we are all paying the price for bad decisions and practices
undertaken by a) poor application developers b) short-sighted IT departments.
These past mistakes, together with an unwillingness to rectify them, have cost
our industry a LOT of money, and have held back innovation dramatically.
This is not to say you cannot ostracise IE6 users from your website. Just be
aware that some of your target audience will not be able to view your site in
all its glory. If your site has a target audience of 'everyone', that's bad
news. If you chose to alienate people accessing from within a poor business
environment (and, to some extent, those on older hardware), that's completely
up to you.
