AMEN. The latest version of the CMS that we produce is officially unsupported in IE6 (at least the admin stuff) and we all did the dance of "DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD" when it released. Except now we have people who won't upgrade because they need IE6 for other products.
Anyway ... the sooner we move away from IE6 the better. I use Firefox for most things on my home PC except Gmail (which is in a Chrome application shortcut) and occasionally Opera when I feel like being different. IE7 only gets used for Netflix streaming and it aggravates me every time I have to switch over.
I hate IE7 less than I hate IE6, but I don't think it's possible to hate anything as much as I hate IE6.
I do have one client stuck on IE6 because their IT department claims it's the only browser supported by a particular software package. It turns out that the client is several versions behind on this software package, and IT just can't be arsed to upgrade and save everyone the pain of using IE6. Your customers may be blessed with equally wonderful IT folks.
