An Open Letter From Your Old Friend IE6
Trend: Dropping support for IE6
Dear Internet Users,
There has been a lot of fancy talk about killing me lately and quite frankly it hurts my proprietary ones and zeros. Since 2001 I have been there for you day in and day out with my numerous updates and patches for my simple tab-less interface, tight integration with an amazingly stable operating system, wonderful PNG light blue rendering, super advanced popup/spyware enabling, flawless rendering of cutting edge technology such as tables, frames and midi files as well as a big F you to those wacky web standards, those are totally over rated.
We’ve been together through good times and bad times, mostly bad… but don’t leave me now. If 14.4% of you are wrong, I don’t want to be right! Vote UP to keep me around another 8 years.
Signed.
Internet Explorer 6
Check out me and my friends! We aren't going anywhere!

Talk to the hand IE6! You are a pain in my rear and I want you to die, die, die. You rear your ugly head with each and every new design update and add 20% to my web development costs. Oh wait, is that you Jeff? IE6 is a goldmine for you, right?

Old man, it’s time for you to retire. Shuffle off to that ol’ browser retirement home in the sky… oh, and please take AOL with you while you’re at it.

To IE6: You should have done the honourable thing and committed suicide years ago… :)
