If you mean, we should do the same as we do for FF and Chrome, then sure, once we can
confirm that the big majority of Windows users are using the latest IE, then we can decide
this too. I have some doubts though since large companies have always been very
conservative in upgrading their browser versions because they develop apps for a given
version and upgrading usually costs a lot. It could work I guess but it may take some time
for mentalities to evolve and it depends on how good MS is in not breaking backward
compatibility… ;)

And again that's the rule MS plan to apply, they just delayed the
application of this rule. See the blog post I mentioned.

Again you did not really carefully read what I said, I never talked
about the latest IE, I talked about the lastest IE in supported

You should reread what I suggested: "only the most current version of
Internet Explorer available for a supported operating system”.
I was replying to Edy’s comment:
"If its own maker dropped support for it, there is no logic in us supporting it.
"simple and easy to defend”."
I think there has been some confusion about your proposal then because there are 2
different things:
- not supporting a IE version that MS doesn’t support
- only supporting the latest IE version
So
based on what's on
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/lifecycle.
So no we would not have to support IE6, we would actually drop IE8 and 9.
And IE10 I guess since the most recent is IE11.
