Just die already IE6!

Good news web developers…IE6’s time has finally come. According to this article on CNN, IE6, although a decent browser when it was released 8 YEARS AGO, is now a huge stumbling block to the web’s evolution (no secret there). It’s estimated that as many as 25% of web users are still using IE6, slowing down the web and creating headaches for web developers.

However, there is a growing movement on the web to kill the dinosaur once and for all. This site provides a snippet of code that will encourage users to upgrade their browsers for betting online experience. That’s all well and good to persuade average Joe internet user, but what about the many companies out there who use corporate applications written specifically for IE6? Do they represent the “death” of the death of IE6?
