I'm of the opinion that IE6 is going the way of the dinosaur. Unless
your client absolutely needs it, I would avoid bending over backwards
for it. IE6 support on the front-end is a different story (alas you may
need at least minimal support for it -- still has approximate 25% market
share), but I think it's reasonable to require modern browsers for the
admin UI.

Seriously though, I think public sites still need to support IE6. But
gated admin areas that have a small number of users, I think its fine
to declare IE7 the minimum. And, if we're lucky, the rest of the
internet will follow suit.

I have a question for all the Radiant users out there...
Would anyone be left out if Radiant failed to support IE 6?
I am working on some UI/CSS improvements for Radiant which require
hacks and workarounds to support this browser. It can be done but
I'm not sure it's worth it.
IE 8 is already in beta and IE 7 is freely available for all but
Windows 2000 -- and that OS is 8 years old (benefits of a public
education right there, baby). And Win2k can easily install Firefox,
Opera, or Safari so it's not like they're stuck.
Thoughts?

P.S. Please don't waste bandwidth with Microsoft or IE bashing (I'm
not interested in why everyone should use <insert your favorite
browser here>). I just want to know whether it would be a problem for
Radiant admin users to need IE 7+.
