At the day job, legacy installations mean IE6 compatibility is a requirement and all other compatibility is a luxury. I prioritize accordingly.

Its not like I can tell my customer "Look, I know telling you to upgrade your browser is going to break that 3 million dollar CRM system you've been using for the last 8 years... but you'll get transparent PNGs!"

Well eventually the argument will be "You'll be able to use the real internet!"

How does it use IE6, why was it not designed for the web in the first place? What other single point of failures were chosen in the design phase?

That feature matched CRM, or probably a better one, may be available as OSS now for nothing but the cost of a few developers to create some shims and massage things into place?
