In a much more mundane, but to me valuable, example of why I want IE6  
to work perfectly, most photo printing service web sites seem to  
believe that it is perfectly adequate to provide Mac, Linux and non- 
IE-using Windows users with a woefully inadequate photo uploading  
featuer that requires you to manually select each photo one at a time  
in separate "Open" dialogs. It makes most photo printing services  
unusable for Mac users except for one-off prints. It's for that that  
I most want IE6 to work seamlessly in IE6.

While certainly true, I question how you could feel this way while  
developing and pushing a product that essentially does the exact same  
thing for everything else? Why isn't allowing Mac and Linux users to  
run any Windows software at all a moral failing as well? Crossover  
itself is a very grey thing if you ask me, but it is useful, and IE6  
would be useful too.
