blogs.computerworld.com — I hereby officially proclaim Internet Explorer 6 to be a dead browser walking. Even though IE 6 still somehow manages to keep 19.8% of the Web browser market, IE 6 is a late Web browser! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace!

I don't get the piracy connection. Sure I pirated XP when it came out, but then upgraded when IE7 came out, installed Firefox, pirated Vista, and now run pirated Windows 7. Since there's no cost to pirate, why is that the issue as compared to non-pirates who see cost as a barrier to upgrade from XP (even though XP doesn't restrict you to IE6 anyway).

I still use IE 6. The 5 minutes of the week that I use my Windows box, and the 1 minute of that 5 minutes that I want to test a website to make sure it works in IE 6. But hey, I still use IE 6

Ha, its HTML. I make PHP do that for me. I haven't coded bare HTML for a while.

The software piracy rate in Asia is almost 80% too. Take India for example: 72%.While staunch supporters of open source might take note of that, they likely are already writing programs and web pages that work on other operating systems. If IE 6 was able to display standard HTML and not some strange, distorted dialect of it, IE 6 would work fine on pages based on the W3 HTML/CSS specs. Since it doesn't, many will probably simply tell the asians the web site will work in the free Firefox, Safari, and Chrome web browsers.IE6 can easily be taught to taught to display HTML 5 web pages simply by installing Google Chrome frame plugin for Windows. Microsoft doesn't have a big problem with Flash plugin for Windows, which keeps getting exploited by hackers year round, as Adobe's chronic admissions of guilt crooks exploiting its bugs tend to indicate.
