It is a ridiculous notion to support a browser that is 2 versions behind and 10 years old. The only course of action is to inform users upon browsing to a site that they are using outdated technology that is not supported and that their experience may be degraded because of it. I don't support completely blocking access to any site, but we need to band together as developers and get tough on people now. And the excuse that corporate IT departments don't want to upgrade due to hardware and OS limitations doesn't wash anymore. IT professionals know better and need to get on the ball as far as keeping current with technology. If this means putting pressure on their corporate powers that be to increase technology spending, so be it.

On others it could be tens of thousands or more. Can you think of a good business reason to stop thousands of potential clients/purchasers being able to effectively use a site? Doubly so if it's a B2B service/product. You obviously work on low volume websites.
