Since google dropped support for IE6 beginning 2010 a lot of companies followed their lead.
Now over a year later Microsoft creates a new website: http://www.ie6countdown.com which 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… LoL beter late than never.
As a developer I try to develop cross browser/cross plaform websites. In that respect I spent a lot of hours debugging and hacking markup, css and javascript in IE6. My employer doesn’t care about the fact that this browser is over a decade old and still wants pixel-perfect designs with state-of-the-art functionality and behaviors arghh.
The fact that a lot of people (mainly marketing and management) in the company still view their pages with IE6 mainly because the guys and galls from workplace management can’t install a newer version of this darn piece of software. Yo guys and galls check out this page and read the “What about corporate users?” section..
I hope that the site will encourage big companies to put some extra effort in replacing this old and outdated browser.
