You are joking right? Of course you can, Google.com is built lightly, simply and for all browsers.
However it is one of very few websites that work with IE6. face it dicktwag.

Our company intranet does not let half the applications on it work with Firefox... boo! Damn u IE 6 and Microsoft... why can't they get with the times. It's bad enough i have to use a Microsoft powered pc, but constraining my web browser is just crazy. Yeah it will cost a lot of money to upgrade all the intranet but i say to hell with it, we spend tons of money on all sorts of other stuff why not this too.

Set up a PC with the new OS,
Configure that OS to the companies standards (permissions, networking, install/uninstall extra/unneeded software)
Create a ghost image of that PC.
Test the ghost image on a few PC's.
Return to step #2 and refine any issues
Once a good ghost image is found:
Re-ghost thousands of PCs.
And then the final step would be training the users of those thousands of PC to use the new OS.

It simply does not allow to click on search result links because of tracking JavaScript.
Firefox is evil too. Try to to http://getfirefox.com website with IE 6 (i.e. then need to install on old system) - a bunch of JavaScript errors popup.
If Google and Firefox does not care about old browsers while designing their own websites - why should anybody else bother?

implying that any website should maintain IE6 compatibility is absurd. if your IT dept doesn't let you upgrade, it sucks for you - i have no sympathy.

It's Microsoft and IE that is evil for not providing it's users with a client that can access accepted standards. Not everyone else for following agreed standards and leaving Microsoft behind. That is their doing. If they can't keep up then screw them. They deserve a browser that doesn't work.

Honestly, IE6 broke so much shit that works so well in EVERYTHING ELSE. MS wanted to make their own "standard" and failed. This is just gonna convince IT departments all over to upgrade, and if they can't, at least install this plugin.

By the way anybody know when/if there is going to be an Acid4 test?

The closest I have found is a hacked FF version here: [www.frontmotion.com]
I've used it on a limited number of clients in our company and it seems to work fine. I'm just a little nervous to go company wide with a hack from a company I've never heard of (and that also sells a computerized eye chart??)
There was a Mozilla run project to create GP templates, but it seems to have died a few years ago. Too bad.

Their excuse is pure laziness, and any manager worth their salt would never take it as a excuse, not when Microsoft makes it so easy to upgrade.

The intranet here supports over 40k employees, customers, suppliers, plants, and the like. You honestly think you can just "convert it"?

Please, continuing to use IE6 in general is a massive security risk to any company due to it's horrible ActiveX implementation alone. Your corporate intranet will have to be replaced eventually anyway, might as well try to get the ball rolling once the HTML5 spec is implemented over the next few years.

This isn't about a few html pages. This is a huge company who's whole business takes place on their intranet. It's a massive undertaking.
@Cin: It's not that big of a risk when you have proxies, dpi, locked down workstations, and the like (no j, flash, etc).
That price I said isn't hardware, although I'm sure more would be needed.

...and/or that Microsoft will quickly get with the program once they start sensing the masses entering states of confusion and anger. Maybe?

Anyway, while IE-only might mean that someone has to find a new computer, everything-but-IE just means an extra mouse click or two.
