Comments on: IE6 No More – Let’s Kill IE6 http://nithinbekal.com/2009/08/15/ie6-no-more-lets-kill-ie6/ Ruby on Rails, Web 2.0, Wordpress and more...

I don't see too many web development companies dropping IE6 support at least for another couple of years. The only option is for people with personal websites to stopp supporting IE6. When more and more sites look awful on IE6, people will start looking for alternatives. Only then will the web development companies stop supporting IE.<br /><br />@aravind. Not everyone is doing this out of choice. People working at many big corporations only have access to IE6 at work. They can't use FF there. That was my situation at my previous job. Thank God, I'm now working at a place where everyone worships FF. ;-) @shantharam. I don't see too many web development companies dropping IE6 support at least for another couple of years.

Wish everyone just stoped "doing that bit of tweaking" just for IE. Its pathetic and really very much unnecessary. Its the browser's problem it cant render the code properly and if people STILL use it..they must be either stupid and woefully ignorant. I do not know what is happening out there at Microsoft. Something is seriously wrong. First IE, then Windows Vista..they keep coming with these stupid products. Hope they do comeup with something that will HELP people rather than creating more headaches..we have our plates full with that. What do you say? Got to agree with you there.

But I have to say, there's not much W3C can do to stop IE6, because the people who use IE don't care about what W3C standards say.<br /><br />If only more companies stopped coding for IE6, people would automatically move to a better browser when they see how badly IE6 renders standards compatible pages.

Ah the at times i have been tormented by this stupid browser that i felt i should chuck my Windows Pc out of my Window..lol..<br /><br />I hate it ..i absolutely hate it. I despise it..i have this feeling of intense loathing whenever i see that wretched Logo anywhere... I do have a website and i am planning to change the theme that's why i have so far not put this but i definitely will be doing everything within my power to KILL this wretched piece of shit that is blocking the progress of the web. <br /><br />If Microsoft is still going to support it, W3C better stop supporting them. Ban Microsoft from Web business right away. That ought to teach them a lesson. Monopolizing the web market as they have a major share in the PC market, it is a very stinky thing to do.<br /><br />It was really a great post and i hope that we all will be able to spread the word about how shit this IE is and hopefully people will realize it and switch over to better alternatives.

It really annoys me too when I see someone use IE6 when there are so many better alternatives available. Hopefully, this time around the anti-IE6 campaign will gather momentum and we'll no longer have to code websites for IE6 compatibility. @techslam.
