I’m working on a web development project usng PNG transparency, CSS3 and all the other goodies you would come to expect in a “new” web design. IE8 and Firefox look great, IE7 is passable and IE6 looks like the dog coughed it up.
With Windows 7 out in the wild (If you have to dual boot… do it in style :P) and Internet Explorer 6 down to a pitiful 11% market share, has anyone made the decision to ignore it?
Granted, I’ve still made the effort to make IE6 usable – but how far should I take it (how far have you)? Is anyone else working on a project where they’ve given the finger to this ancient design massacring nightmare?

I still try to make my interfaces usable in IE6, but I don’t spend the time to make them look perfect, or even decent. For my projects, it’s just not worth the effort. People and companies with IE6 need to upgrade, period.
Edit: Semi-random addition: I just saw this graph of web usage mentioned on Slashdot, which puts IE6 at 14% of all users. At least it’s going down!
