YouTube Phasing Out Support For IE6

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday July 14, 2009 @07:51AM from the ding-dong dept.

Oracle Goddess sends word that YouTube is presenting IE6 users with a banner exhorting them to upgrade to a modern browser, and TechCrunch is reporting that YouTube will be phasing out support for IE6 soon. This Twitter search reflects the jubilation breaking out all over the Net at the imminent demise of this most despised and non-standards-compliant browser. The market share for IE6 is now well down in the single digits.

Who's this "buggy" that IE7 was proven to? And why after proving it to "buggy" wasn't it deployed. I would have thought proving it to somebody would be a good thing.
