The Plague

Web Designers and Developers all over the world for the past 9 yrs have been hit by the plague know as Internet Explorer 6. We pray for the day Internet Explorer 6 dies and is no longer supported. Some Web Firms can’t wait on Microsoft and have already adopted this method and terminating support for Internet Explorer 6 within their designs. Some firms are still fighting this crippling technology and continuing to support it for whatever reason. To those firms that have terminated the IE6 support, kudos to you! Those of you who are still stuck in 2001, please, please, please, STOP!

There are quite a few youtubeing, googleing, facebooking consumers still out there running IE6. If you are one of them, consider upgrading to to a newer browser. For one, its time to move on. We are now up to IE8, lets use it. Upgrading will give you a better user experience and allow you to view the newer technology that has been created to make browsing the web better. Designers can continue to improve the aesthetics of the web and bring eye catching designs to the web. I could go into detail about the issues and bore you with a bunch of verbiage that doesn’t make any sense to you or I could just point you in the right direction.

If you are considering updating to a new browser, here are some recommended browsers?

Safari	Chrome	Firefox	Opera	IE8

In conclusion, the quicker IE6 can go away the better off the internet will be. What are your views?
