I feel your pain, but remember that even Apple has less than 10% and 
most of us support Safari. (Granted, it's easier to support).

My figures show IE 6 has about 26 percent of the market and that 
figure is dropping about a percent a month. So I plan on supporting 
it for probably another two years.

The good side is that I'm pretty familiar with the problems that IE 6 
presents and have solutions for them -- so, it's not a big deal for 
me.

>How do most people even do IE 6 testing?

I do my testing on BrowserCam -- if it passes there, then I don't 
worry about it.

Cheers,
