"Genuine Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0" by jankoraseta

This article is just my contribution to anti IE6 campaign. Enough is enough. Personally, I dropped the support for IE6 some time ago - I don't care how my blog looks like in IE6 and I don't check my demos in IE6.

According to W3Schools statistics, IE6 currently holds 18.5% of market share. Comparing to January last year it's around 14% less. But it's still here. I checked the stats for my blog for last year, and IE (all versions) contributed 14% in total of which of IE6 22.75%. Beat me how much is that in total, but it's small enough for me :).

Beside dropping the support for this dinosaur, I'll give you some links that might help you do the same or explain to your customer WHY or just to get informed:

• Stop Living In The Past is the "movement to phase out IE6, forever". You can find there some good reasons for upgrade and get the code you can put on your website to warn your IE6 visitors.
• You can also check out Scott Hanselmann's article on this subject.
• Looks like Norwegians are gone far away with the campaign, even Microsoft Norge calls for upgrade.
• .NET Magazine also joined the capmaign and you can download their "Bring Down IE" logo.
• WebResourcesDepot provides very useful resources
• For the end, here's one interesting tip on How to Scare IE Users into Upgrading with only ONE Line of Code.

And here are some images to make your life easier while you waiting for IE6 to vanish:
