Microsoft Sends Flowers To Internet Explorer 6 Funeral

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the sorry-about-your-loss dept.

Several readers have written with a fun followup to yesterday's IE6 funeral. Apparently Microsoft, in a rare moment of self-jest, took the time to send flowers, condolences, and a promise to meet at MIX. The card reads: "Thanks for the good times IE6, see you all @ MIX when we show a little piece of IE Heaven. The Internet Explorer Team @ Microsoft."

    IE6 is a piece of shit and the devs who build would either have to be criminally incompetent or they did it on purpose.

    And IE7 is little better. It is just XP compare to Vista. When you are the bottom, every direction is up.

    The only “forced interface change” I’d like to see for people like you is the inside of a coffin, six feet under. Get off my internets, it isn’t 2001 anymore.

    People like you are happy with a steaming pile of gooey shit as long as it has the same old GUI they’re familiar with. Gooey GUI shit. Get it?
