More and more companies, like google and youtube to name a few, are not supporting IE6 anymore, so it would be logic to follow.
There are also a lot of other reasons why somebody shouldn't use IE6 anymore: http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/191356/its_time_to_finally_dro...
So I totally agree in setting the minimal requirement to IE7

I'm having some issues that I'd like a wider input on. So although there are probably far too many opinions, I am asking this in a wider audience than just the Xymon developer group.
The current menu-system in Xymon is not quite "Open Source" enough for some - the licensing has always been a bit unclear (see the README file in the ~xymon/server/www/menu/ if you doubt that). Therefore it would be nice to replace it with something else, and the Debian people have provided a replacement based on CSS and plain HTML 4.
This did break a couple of other things, but I think we have that sorted out by now.
The only remaining issue is: It doesn't work in Internet Explorer 6. IE 7, IE 8, Firefox, Konqueror all look fine.
Since IE 7 is ok and this is available for Windows XP, I am mostly inclined to ignore the problems with IE6. It will be possible to install the old menu system on top of the new Xymon release, but it would be an extra download and some manual work to do. But possible, if you must live with IE 6.
So - would it be OK to do this, and require IE7 as a minimum?
