Just goes to show, the real culprit for IE6's slow and aggravating death is big business, who have cut corners by developing software exclusively for IE6.
Even the f***ing MoD (Ministry Of Defense, UK) for crying out loud:

"Many civil servants use web browsers as a tool of their trade," he told GC News. "They're as important as pens and paper. So to force them to use the most decrepit browser in the world is a rare form of workplace cruelty that should be stopped."

Couldn't agree more, however the cruelty doesn't stop at the user as many of you who are designers will know all too well.
I suspect this kind of madness doesn't only exist in the UK.
Things like this make me wanna pull all my hair out! ARGH!!!
