Did you read the post? He said less than 10% of his traffic is IE6. I'd say he is making the right call based on those demographics. When you look at resource decisions you have to look at the target market...and somehow I don't think it's corporate. If he was targeting corporate users he'd probably also build a Crackberry app.

And your 40% is just way off base unless you're writing salesforce.com apps or something like that. We see about 20% of our IE traffic at IE6 still and dropping fast. 18 months ago that was still at 50%.

I think eli was replying to the parent comment, not commenting on the article.

Also, 40% of 2/3 is about 26% of the whole, which I wouldn't call "wildly off base" even for your site.

I said 20% of our IE traffic is IE6 which is 20% of 70% which is more like 14% so that would be a pretty large deviation from 26% when I'm trying to determine where to put resources. When you factor in trending over the next 6 months you have to realize that number is going to drop probably another 5-10% of overall traffic.

Depends on how focused you are on corporate users and the undsutry. In some industries 30% of ALL traffic is IE6. That's trending down, but slowly. Perhaps 1 or 2 points a month.
