While I'm not suggesting that designers deliberately exclude IE6 users, I don't think that they should constrain their design/functionality due to the limitations of IE6 or spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get their sites to work in an out of date browser. If designers keep designing sites for IE6 then users will keep using it. However, it can be a problem where IE6 users don't know that their browser is out-dated and just think that your website sucks! In these cases, a 'best viewed with IE7 or FF3' badge or link can help to encourage IE6 users to upgrade.
