Me too. You can't assume everyone is going to upgrade just like that - we have only recently got our users to stop using IE6!

IE 9+ requires people to buy new version of WinDoze - something I wouldn't due to my viewers (implicitly, customers). IE 8 is pretty much still out there, (as is Win XP).
I would, therefore, drop jQuery.

As any other decision we have to make, we must choose according to the needs.
Don't think the results of this poll will actually be relevant to anything.
Cheers!

What an odd remark!
Do you or did you ever take the polls seriously ?

Yes I do...
I like polls.
They have multiple problems, and shouldn't play a big role on a decision but they should be part of it.
CP polls tend to be very M$ oriented, it's usually very easy to predict how a CP poll will end but sometimes I get surprised.
Also, better than the poll itself is usually the comments.
Usually on every poll you get at least someone sharing a bit of knowledge about something related to that.
It's knowledge, for sure not rocket science, but knowledge, and if this global network thing have something that really worths is for the knowledge sharing... (sorry Facebook, gossip is not really worthy  )
Specifically about this one, there's nothing good to take out of this.
I'm sure many (if not all) that voted for 2.0 don't actually control that decision. Customers and projects decide this... So even if you're really willing to drop old browsers compatibility but your users use IE8 what would you do?
Cheers!
Happy polls!

It's all depend on client's requirements. Not all client accepts to ignore IE old versions.

It depends on the project or type of website. You have to evaluate your audience. Some groups of people are more up to date than others. You can't use jQuery 2.0 if half of your audience uses IE8.

Yep, usually major government organizations are super slow to upgrade systems. Although I don't know what versions they're on... and most importantly, I don't have to do web dev  .

Will you move to jQuery 2.0 (and drop IE 6,7 and 8 support)?: We'll have to change according to the changes in technology.
Yes, very soon I gonna drop it.
I wish, I could have written for my mind:
Mind.AsEnumerable().Where(m => m["EmptyCorner"] == "").ToList().ForEach(s => s.SetField("EmptyCorner", "C#, Asp.net, Linq, Java, .....Everyting"));
Mind.AcceptChanges();___________________________________________________

I think for my own personal development and on my side projects I will be dropping IE 6, 7, 8.
Honestly though I was already much in the process of dropping support for them. I was finding too my issues with supporting them in the same manner I would other browsers and more recent versions of IE.

If it was just IE6, I would drop it. But there are still many people using IE 8 even IE 7. so I think I will wait at-least a year... Let's hope that we don't have to wait more than a year.

I concur.

Hoping we don't have to wait more than a year too and that JQuery doesn't drop support for Firefox 3.0. The number of people still using I.E 7, 8 is ...
