Ever since Microsoft announced the new IE auto-update policy, the
blogosphere is fussing. This is definitely important (and good) news, but
sites-Smashing Magazine has three articles on it in the last few days-are
really pushing the drop IE support, and its literally slowing the
My id agrees with the calls to let IE die a horrible death, but I agree with
your point: from a service perspective, we cannot just drop support for IE.
Libraries will hopefully uphold a higher standard of accessibility than some
other places on the web.

I go by my statistics (and you should, too). I can't make users use another
browser (as much as I'd like them to). The bulk of our users still use IE

together isn't an assumption I'm ready to lean on yet). That IE majority is
Sean beat me to it, but just sharing the same opinion.
I think that people need to do extensive statistics gathering of their own user

that IE accounted for less than 1/3 of the total browser usage worldwide. And

I agree with Cary on that point. If you're still using IE6, I have no
idea where you've been the last few years and your internet is broken

likely using it for a specific purpose.
I don't think force IE updates make any difference
