Even Microsoft Wants IE6 Dead

Posted by Unknown on Friday March 4, 2011 @10:03AM from the is-this-really-happening dept.

Tarmas writes "Microsoft has launched a website intended to persuade people to upgrade their browsers from Internet Explorer 6. In Microsoft's words: 'This website is dedicated to watching Internet Explorer 6 usage drop to less than 1% worldwide, so more websites can choose to drop support for Internet Explorer 6, saving hours of work for web developers.' About time?" Of course they want you to upgrade to a newer Internet Explorer.

You opera kids are fucking obnoxious. Nearly as bad as the firefox trolls in all the firefox stories.
It's 2011. Give up the asinine personality disorders already, nerds.
