So here is a question I have after seeing a number of forum posts referencing the POS browser that is IE6... Why do people still make an effort to support IE6? I mean, the IE6 SP2 was released in 2004--- how many people should really go through all the effort it takes to support a slow, old, buggy browser that is four years old? It seems rediculous for developers to spend their time trying to get their stuff to work seamlessly with all the new browsers as well as this dinosaur. ;D
Seriously, they stopped making VHS tapes at a certain point because we have newer, better technologies. Why not drop IE6 like the dead duck it is?
Just my two cents, after dealing with several problems that only pop up in IE6 that my boss wants me to fix. :)
I remember hearing on either Buzz Out Loud (CNET podcast) or Net at Night (Twit) someone who said we should start a movement to respectfully encourage anyone using IE6 to upgrade to IE7 so we can stop wasting our time supporting it. I fully support this, and feel that the community forum Fun! is a good place to start such a movement.
Can you tell it's Friday? ;)
