Since a large section of our USER base is still tied to W2k and does not

What is needed is someone to kick M$ to sort the mess out by at least
allowing IE8 to install on W2k machines, rather than telling hundreds of
councils they have to replace ALL their computers :(
The alternative is to convince M$ controlled councils that Firefox is OK
and that using it will not invalidate their contracts - but then all the
work currently being done to convert legacy setups to work with *IE7*
would have to be scrapped and reworked on Firefox. Many of my customers
have only just got funds to start an *IE7* roll out! Redoing all that
work for IE8 is yet another problem for which money is not available.
Support of any type for Win2K is over in 5 months. Better upgrade.

Thanks!

In addition to that, the "stats" on visitors show that IE6 popularity
is dropping at around one percent per month. In January it was around
10 percent. As such, I believe that before the end of this year IE6
will be history regardless of IF management wants to upgrade or not.
Lastly, I think I have a good feel for the general consensus of
developers regards to IE6. I won't be considering it any longer for
web development before the end of this year and I don't think I'm
alone.
Cheers,
tedd
