 IE 6 support was dropped by WP officially
 [http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/just-write/ more than one and a
 half years ago]. You can [http://make.wordpress.org/ui/2011/04/27/the-big-
 css-overhaul-in-3-3/ read even more about it here]. Even MicroSoft now
 [http://www.ie6countdown.com/ has a countdown site].

 Maybe. I just want to read the exact point and not just buzz words. And as
 you can see in the linked post by Jane: You can't even navigate in IE6.
 Now I'm wondering what exactly the SLA promises the client...

 After years that I've spent in the German/WPDE support forums and on
 WP.SE, I can promise you one thing for sure: The only thing the ''casual''
 user will do is going into ''"white screen of death! panic!!"''-mode and
 run down the next support alley. :)
