I tweeted this at the beginning of November, but felt it was worth reposting and subsequently retweeting. Smashing Magazine did a great article on continued support of older browsers. While not all web projects require this same amount of time and effort to make work in IE6, there is definitely more labor involved — often with a degraded and sub-standard result, not to mention slight code bloat to fix things like IE6′s lack of PNG transparency and conditional style sheets.
