  Hi,

  it's still out there and being used. Mainly companies or countries where piracy's big. For IE7 you had to install the Windows Genuine advantage tool so a lot of people didn't do that.

  Here are some statistics: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp.

  On my personal blog site I put Google analytics and there it shows the following:

  1.	<div style="display: block; position: relative; width: 295px; height: 1.2em; margin: 0px;" id="f_primary_segment0" title="8.0" class="text_wrapper"> <div style="display: block; position: absolute; width: 295px; height: 1.2em; top: 0px; left: 0px; white-space: nowrap; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;" class="text_wrapper"> <div style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: #058dc7; position: relative; float: left; top: 0.2em; left: 0px; height: 0.8em; width: 0.8em; margin-right: 0.4em; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;" class="legend"></div> <div class="ie_fix_wrapper">8.0</div> </div> </div>		1,510	77.16%

  Thanks for quick answer,

  But there is lot of features thats are suported by moderan browser is not suported by IE 6, So what should we do for out sites that need new features of moderen browser. But that is not avilable in IE 6. So in this we always be back than others.

  So What should you sujest for this.

  Yes that's oh so true.

  Actually you simply decide if you want to keep on supporting IE6 or not. If you find out that your site's being used by a certain % of your visitors then you definitely need to support them. Perhaps create a dedicated mini site for them. Another technique's progressive enhancement.

  Finally we decide to stop supporting IE6, but we suport IE7/IE8/IE9 etc

  Thanks for the proper guide to decide us for this stuff.
