In addition to that, the "stats" on visitors show that IE6 popularity 
is dropping at around one percent per month. In January it was around 
10 percent. As such, I believe that before the end of this year IE6 
will be history regardless of IF management wants to upgrade or not.

Lastly, I think I have a good feel for the general consensus of 
developers regards to IE6. I won't be considering it any longer for 
web development before the end of this year and I don't think I'm 
alone.

Cheers,
