Norwegian Websites Declare War On IE 6

Eyvind A. Larre writes "A large and rapidly growing campaign to get users to stop using IE6 is being implemented throughout Europe. 'Leading the charge is Finn.no, an eBay-like site that is apparently the largest site for buying and selling goods in all of Norway (Finn is Norwegian for "Find"). Earlier this week, Finn.no posted a warning on its web page for visitors running IE 6. The banner, seen at right, urges them to ditch IE 6 and upgrade to Internet Explorer 7.' The campaign is now spreading like fire on Twitter (#IE6), and starting to become an amazing effort by big media companies to get rid of IE6! The campaign also hit Wired some hours ago."

I guess if you do not give them Microsoft's option, the other side gets pissed off.

In fact a while ago I've created a little script called killie6, when I posted on linkedin group to ask professional opinion about it, many declared it desceptive, violating user's choice, etc, etc.
