It is very unwise to drop support for Internet Explorer 6 on the

"Ubuntu sucks" because it doesn't look nice in their browser.  These
same people often don't know what a web browser is, let alone that
they are using IE6.

I am in total agreement with Denver on this.  I know how infuriated I get when I am told that I need to use IE6 or IE7 to view a site.  I generally write the site off because there is no way I'm going to install IEanything.
