It's not done with, and likely won't ever be. ?Despite us all hoping it goes.

The problem isn't with end-users, it's with institutional installs.

Corporations can't migrate up because:
? ? ? ?- their tech is locked down for security , so that end-users can't install software -- only IT can
? ? ? ?- ie7 requires XP SP2 or later. ?institutions would either have to upgrade their OS or install SP2 ( see above )

Ideally, someone would make a verison of ie7 or 8 that installs onto Win98 and later -- and uses some weird security backdoor or exploit to allow it to install even when it shouldn't.

Barring that, I think we're stuck with ie6 for a while.

BTW, while numbers show certain global percentages for ie6... what really matters is your market. ?I've consulted on plenty of projects this year where 15-23% of visitors ran IE6. ?Telling someone that you should cut your market opp or ad revenue by 20% for a philosophy doesn;t make sense... and 20% of your yearly gross is WAAAAY more than the cost of funding ie6 compat.
