Hahah... it was broken at the starting gate... probably by design.
Every standard conformance test can tell you since years that IE6 is broken. At that point, you'll be exactly in the same situation, if your customers do not want to update for same reason they are not doing right now, why would you leave them "alone" next July when everybody is screaming against that horror software. IE6 had glorious days 7 years ago, now it's like complaining that petrol stations do not sell carbon to go anymore ... the utopia is: if tomorrow everybody will stop to support IE6 these deprecated companies will have to update - it works with everything, marketing speaking, it does not work with IE6, 'cause it's Microsoft marketing. Finally, apparently IE6 support is reminded until 2014, but for "support" they mean only major security problems with zero fixes about leaks, render engine, JScript, CSS support, etc etc ... but of course with SilverLight everything will be fantastic and still Microsoft Approved, they are simply doing their business, and we are simply passively following it.
In a lot of the work I do these days I have to support IE6 because it's the defacto browser in various government departments. It'll be sometime before it is completely ousted.
