[theme-reviewers] MS Expressions in CSS

[Emil Uzelac]

I agree with the Chip and not to continue this any longer just want to say
one last thing. IE6 is not officially banned and IMHO it should be, Google,
Facebook, YouTube and many others phased out the IE6 support last year, when
you combine all three sites together the number of visitors is enormous. If
they can do it, so can we. Since 2008 I work exclusively with Auto Insurance
sites (WordPress of course), few of them have over 1M monthly visitors and
none support IE6.

In last few years there was only few times when someone would actually
complain about IE6 and to be honest with you not a single site owner had any
interest in dealing with this at all. Site do have
http://code.google.com/p/friendly-ie6-upgrade-notice/ to inform them that
it's time for an upgrade.

Cheers,
Emil
