But yea. Sucks.

HOLY FUCK.
Just let it fucking DIE! I finally start felling MS on the Bing, and then they go and shit on us like this.

Meanwhile, they never have and never will support Groove, one of their newer products, on Vista 64-bit. Lovely.

dont care much really .. All I use nowadays is FF, chrome and occasionally IE to cross check browser compatibility of some designs n thats about it.....

never give up!

Everyone use transparent PNGs all over the place to annoy the crap out of IE6 users til they upgrade.

This is bad news for site design ...

FF all the way :D

Yeah I guess that's one more thing to add to a designers headache.:1orglaugh

oh how i fucking love IE6

I second that motion :)

I use this or something similar on some sites: http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/

Agreed, doesn't make it impossible to do anything but sometimes requires extra styling. Though as above you can get around the transparency issues.

:2 cents:

"Web monitoring firms estimate that 15-20% of people still use IE6 to browse the web."

wtf, seriously?

oh ffs...

I call bulshit on that. It's more around 8-10% at most

That sucks, IE6 is a horror show.

I think they mean out of the total people that use IE 15 - 20% still use IE6.

For my biggest site it's 17.60% IE6 (out of all people that use IE)

1. 7.0 534,109 45.08%
2. 8.0 441,119 37.23%
3. 6.0 208,526 17.60%


But only 60% of the total visitors uses IE

1. Internet Explorer 1,184,841 60.49%
2. Firefox 555,915 28.38%
3. Safari 93,093 4.75%
