That just strikes me as being a bit of a dick. Of course it's up to you what you do on your own sites but still. What about the people (like the one mentioned in this article) who would need to pay for a new computer to be able to upgrade? Why should someone who doesn't really care about computers pay out large sums of money every few years just to get a new plastic box much like the old one?
By all means ignore IE6 compatibility and even display messages informing your users that things probably won't work quite right. But intentionally shutting them out is just silly.
- zweben 16y agoPretty much any computer that can run IE6 should be able to run Firefox, no? I think the number of users who would have to upgrade their hardware to use something newer than IE6 is very low. I agree about not shutting IE6 users out though. If broken rendering and warning messages aren't enough to get them to upgrade, blocking them from the site isn't going to accomplish anything except reducing the number of visitors to your site.
- Macha 16y agoNo, it cannot. Windows 98/ME are unable to run new versions of Firefox, but can run IE6.
