Funeral Being Held Today For IE6

Posted by samzenpus on from the good-riddance dept.

An anonymous reader writes "More than 100 people, many of them dressed in black, are expected to gather around a coffin Thursday to say goodbye to an old friend. The deceased? Internet Explorer 6. The aging Web browser, survived by its descendants Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8, is being eulogized at a tongue-in-cheek 'funeral' hosted by Aten Design Group, a design firm in Denver, Colorado."

    The official site is here http://ie6funeral.com/

    Don't know why it wasn't included in the summary.

    I don't know if this is a joke or not, but in WindowsXP, if you upgrade to ie8, navigate to c:\windows\ie8\iexplore.exe

    This will load the IE6 UI, but it will be the IE8 rendering engine. It's located in c:\windows\ie7 if the computer has IE7 installed.
