I think this is a dangerous position to take of you want to run a business.
In business it's about doing something that your customers want, and if they run IE as their browser they want your site to work on their computers. If it doesn't they will find one that does.
Sad but true. Unless your market is extremely computer-savvy, you will lose business by not supporting IE. You might be able to get away with "for best performance, use something else", but if major features don't work, it will hurt you.

I'm not up to date on the current Windows OS or IE marketshare. I am pretty certain it is still in the high 90s for both. If you're comfortable ignoring that portion of the market, good luck to you.

High 90s? The problem is too many people continue to think that IE/Windows is still the only platform that matters.
I can tell you I won't support Windows and will ignore it for the foreseeable future. I'm making web apps, for fuck's sake! (And if IE wants my support, then it just has to support standards better and my site will automagically support it, for the most part).
