It was made in 2001. Now is 2008 but still it is in use by many. Around 30% of all the people visiting my sites use IE6. It is crappy, it lacks proper support for web site standards and it is hard to make all the latest web sites compatible with this old crappy browser. From now on, I end up support for Internet Explorer 6. This means that all the new web sites developed, and existing Clever Leap services updated, will no longer be tested for Internet Explorer 6. This will enable us to keep focused on quality of the service rather than solving compatibility issues for 7 years old browser used by people who slept.
The time has come and it is good to update all that old browsers. I understand however that it is hard to get Internet Explorer 7 on old machines running windows 98. But there are even better and more secure alternatives like Firefox and Opera which run on windows 98. Opera is excellent browser for the old machine and still supports latest web standards. So there is no excuse why not to upgrade to the latest browser or different one.
Good bye Internet Explorer 6, you were pain in the ass for about two years. Now we are going to develop even better web sites and application worth the year 2008.
