I agree that IE 6 support has got to be ceased to entice people to upgrade.

However, since a portion of them don’t use IE 6 by choice but through their IT department policy and upgrade budget constrictions, it think tools like SlideDeck should provide in the script something like:
* a IE6 detector
* a space to write a message to IE6 users with a link to download a PDF equivalent so that they don’t miss out on content.

i fully agree for _my_ projects. if a client is willing to pay for backwards compatibility, no matter how painful, i’ll take care of it.

I agree Matt, but its our belief here that we should also be creating awareness with our clients the drawbacks of supporting such an insecure and antiquated browser. If the client has a truly legitimate reason for supporting the browser (in the case of a B2B service where the client’s target audience may be tied to IE6 due to internal intranet limitations), the exception would have to be made.

Cheers to that! I’m amazed when I check my G analytics to learn of all the IE6 users still out there.
