Matt's post (http://groups.google.com/group/coffs-harbour-web-design-
and-development/browse_thread/thread/57bc6894b8788deb) made me wonder
what legacy browsers people are still supporting.
I officially dropped support for IE6 at the start of this year
(37signals did it in 2008! - http://productblog.37signals.com/products/2008/07/basecamp-phasin.html).
Who's still supporting IE6? Anybody still supporting IE5 or Netscape?
If so, what's your rationale?

The application builder for Application Express (Oracle product)
removed support for development in IE6 browser in the latest version.
I can't believe that anyone would be still using IE6.. i mean come on!
Of course it depends on the client and what they use in their
organisation. (I hope for organisations to remove IE from there SOE
one day :D)
Whilst on the topic of IE, if you do support IE, theres a great app
IETester - I haven't used it in a couple of years but you can create a
window from all IE versions to see how your site goes. Also, a
colleague came across this the other day. gave me a LOL.

behave like a standards-compliant browser."

Working for Make (M&C Saatchi / Mark) we still support ie6 due to it's continued (but falling) market share. It would need to drop below 5% to be fully ignored (or basic warning message).
Two things I've agreed with lately...
1. Clients should be given the option to pay more if they want ie6 support.
2. Goggle ChromeFrame is an interesting solution.
