Can I forget about IE6?

Question

I'm a consultant working on several websites and it has been asked that I make sure my work is compatible with IE6.

Since Microsoft advised not to use it anymore and that an average of 6% of the users are using IE6: can I advise my client to forget about IE6 ?

Edit: The website is consumer oriented on the internet. I don't think IE6 is a strong requirement for my client just an old habit that's why I ask myself if it's a good thing to advise against it.

Answer 1

You are a consultant working on several websites and it has been asked that you make sure your work is compatible with IE6

If the person that pays you thinks IE6 needs to be supported, then it does!

What you think yourself, or what anyone else on stackoverflow thinks, is not important!

"a requirement is anything that an important person thinks is important"
