Is IE-6 Dead ...?

Being a web developer who takes outsourced works of web design I am usually asked by the clients to be compatible with IE6. Though some of them back-step when i let them know that i do charge an extra 30% for designing for IE6 most of them are ready to pay. While IE6 was a forerunner in browser family its user share has gone considerably low(close to something like 4.02%). IE7 and IE8 has been able to somewhat retain the microsoft's share (6.4% and 17.6% respectively) in the ongoing browser war.



Being such non-standard and nightmare to developers and that too from such a big company like Microsoft IE6 was making our lives terrible. Happy to bid adieu IE6 and you "Maynot Rest in Peace".For those who want some words of condolence to be showered can go to ie6funeral.com a website by aten design group.
