developers need to take the bull by the horn and simply stop supporting IE6. Instead of spending the time optimizing code for IE6, show the users something along the lines of: "We no longer support Internet Explorer 6.0, you may experience bugs. Click here to upgrade to Firefox"
When enough sites do this, these people might actually figure out that they need to upgrade. Right now there is pretty much no real reason to upgrade from IE6 because pretty much every single site on the net coddles to them.
- GiraffeNecktie 17y agoThe users aren't always the problem. There are 15,000 people in my organization, all using IE6. Using even portable Firefox would be considered grounds for dismissal.

If suddenly the corporate IE6 suddenly started throwing up errors that its out of date, the IT guy would soon find himself in front of the CEO being asked why the company is using outdated technology. Why should the programmers be the ones wasting valuable time, coding up for IE6, just because some corporate IT guy is too lazy to run an install file.
