IE 6 must die

[Justin]

IE 6 must die so HTML 5 can move forward and webpages can be displayed correctly, I dont know why someone would use a out dated browser 😕

I think IE should just die, all versions included.

It seems too slow

Well, lots of large companies who use Web-based systems often use older browsers as opposed to the latest ones. For example I know for Fact that Vodafone use IE5 in all of their stores as the Web based system they use works perfectly well and is stable. In cases like this, why bother upgrading when it works fine as it is? 😛

Think of it this way, phpBB2 worked perfectly fine so why upgrade 😉

I thought it was Invaders who must die, not IE6. :S

Seriously though, you should use either Firefox or an updated version of IE. 😛

Because phpBB3 is packed full of extra features and eventually support for phpBB2 would stop (which by the way now has...some time ago actually). Vodafone don't care about fancy features or an improved Interface, as long as the system does the job, does it well and doesn't cause any problems...why invite a host of new problems by unnecessarily upgrading browser, and consequently having to upgrade the system...which in turn costs a lot of money? :great:

I think all of IE should stop being made and stop being supported also for companys using old IE one is that shopping network qvc.

IE must die full stop... The browser as a whole is slow and useless.

Awh but Microsoft love it so much! 🙁

The sooner people realise that there are better browsers out there the better it is for everyone.

QFT.

Murder hit the nail on the head for the most part, however that's not the full story. If your website is getting a decent amount of IE6 traffic, it probably isn't a store, but rather someone with Microsoft Auto-Updates turned off that doesn't know any better. People like this would be people who just arn't great with computers.

For example my mom still uses IE7 a lot on Vista, though she's starting to use Opera 10 more and more.

Because things change and advance. If they didn't then where would technology be today? I thought the same thing with the PS1 then came the PS2. Now its the PS3 that's at top.

Otherwise people would lose interest in the product honestly.

Well said, I used to have IE 6 and it is the worst browser I've ever used, Firefox at any version is better.
