Wow, you have 64%.. Unlucky you :P

On TwinCircuits (my site), so far, I have had, wait for it, 3 IE users on my site. All were IE7 or higher, but this is not my point.

My point is that we should discard IE, otherwise the internet will never be able to successfully advance, like it should be doing.

Apple, Facebook, 37Signals, and several other companies are ditching support for IE6, as it is fast approaching 10 years old (if it isn't already), so we should not be using conditional comments to "enhance" their experience. We should be punishing them for wasting hours of unwanted coding time, and educating them about Firefox and Safari, and Opera, and Chrome

Now some replies:

@online - That's a helluva lot of web dev guys then, isn't it?
@salathe - That's cause we love ya, and... Screw it, I'm getting IE4 out, just to visit this site
@simplylegit - Yeah, Microsoft sucks.. Buy a Mac, guys
