Precisely. How much of the inability to shift off IE6 is caused by our
own refusal to tell clients "No. The world has moved on. I'm not going
to let you be saddled with what is now 5 year old tech for the *next*
five years."
I know, it really takes balls to risk not getting a contract because
of this, but if we wait for the clients themselves to ask to move… we
finally actually dropped support for Win2K less than a month ago. We
did get rid of IE5.5 a few years ago by dint of a vendor's script code
erroring like crazy on it.
Of course, Jennifer was also referencing our internal organizations. I
think ours only officially supports IE6, Office 2003, Eudora 4, and so
on. The tech teams all have to self-admin to a large degree.

Regarding IE6... One the core issues for us is that internally our
company only recognizes and thus supports IE6. They don't consider
it important enough to invest in supporting newer technology.
Ironic, seeing as though we are an internet security company. So,
though we all *know* IE6 stinks, until we can shift internally, we
will never drop support. :(
