Help killInternet Explorer 6

Jim Hoskins and Nick Pettit

General consensus:Everyone hatesInternet Explorer 6.Even Microsoft doesn’twant people using it.

Why the hate?• Bad standards support• Bad security• Too costly to develop for anymore

Who’s using it?• IT departments afraid of change• People that don’t know any better

There have beennumerous efforts tokill IE6, but most of theseare developer focused.

Developer focused:Assuming everyoneknows the differencebetween the Internetand their web browser.

No, really. See for yourself:

Time to get… evil.

What people are saying…

@niczar: #ie6update sucks hard, it should point to mozilla.com, not microsoft.com

@kevinburg: @Done21 you're doing God's work. #ie6update #idroppedie6

@rossjones:http://ie6update.com/ - This just seems naughty... I hope it works.

@xentek: The most deliciously evil thing I've seen in a while:http://ie6update.com/

@dancharles: @Done21 IE6 should die, honesty should reign. Getting users to dump IE6, great idea!! Tricking them to do so, not so much. #ie6update

Is it OK to trickusers like this?

Any success storiesin moving a large

IE6 user base?

Could this everhappen again?Will we hateFirefox 3 someday?
