Hopefully I won't have any more discussions against IE6 at least with this customer ;) Today a customer was convinced the hard way that IE6 should be rested in peace: they used an IDN-domain (with umlauts) in their recent campaign, and some confused users called that the IE6 could not display the webpage (which it still cannot do without installing a third party plugin).

It would be great, if the text could be a little bit updated. I am showing a hint at the top of my websites when a user is running IE6 or IE7 and linking to this website for people who are interested, why they should update their browser, because I think it's important to let them know.

IE6 / IE7 does not even understand a perfectly W3C code working on every other browser and is not able to understand the line margin : auto in a css, to simply center a design. It is true though, ppl still having os prior to windows xp will not be able to install ie8, that is (at least, if it is up to date) sort of w3c compliant. but, they still can install a google chrome by example, netscape or firefox that works perfectly fine even on a windows 95 for outdated computers... so, I just stop to support these big poops !!! i cannot stand the anymore !!! and I do not intend anymore to mess with my css and w3c compliant code for one or two outdated fishy/stinky browsers... I am done with them ! still I am going to use the end 6 based javasscript because it still allows access to the website to these people, but I am not reliable if it is not pretty (and if it is not centered in their ie6/7 browser), with the pop up, they will know why it might not work, but they will still be able to see the website... i think it is the best way to do it, in order to do not loose traffic due to my cease of support. currently stopping the support for IE6 and IE7 too on my website.

Good news, eh? Now we just need to spread the word and make sure all developers actively inhibit IE6 support after that date (sooner would be better). Please post this fact and link to M$ site on your home page to make everyone very aware that IE6 is finally going to die! You'll note the browser has already been EOL on several platforms/SPs :) As with any EOL product, developers/designers can (and should/must!) easily charge extra 200% or more for working with EOL software as there is no vendor support to back them up (not that there ever was). *MICROSOFT confirm end to IE6 pain!*

Internet Explorer 6 has official “End of Life” from Microsoft on 13-Jul-2010 – see this page on their website:
