I feel so excited to see such move, especially after receiving so many requests on “IE 6 is a must-catered” or “why not IE 6 looks the same great? Please fix.” from client.

My reply is always the same. “Because IE 6 sucks.”. Catering IE 6 lowers web standard. Continue to support IE 6 will require a compromise on user experience and site performance. Therefore being a product leader, dropping off IE 6 support is a reasonable move, but then it’s totally unacceptable from sales/marketing. I believe 37 Signals has made a harsh decision, but yet the best one IMO.

Hope the IE-6-Phase-Out-Day for Goovii* arrives soon.

*Goovii is one of my current in-charge product. It is currently adopted in freeBlog of HKCSL.

Some designing details really drive me crazy. I appreciate such efforts, which are overlooked by others most of the time.
