Thank you YouTube for helping kill off IE6

Think of the developers…. that and the many man hours wasted trying to get websites to work on an archaic web browser that is Internet Explorer 6.

When it was released IE6 was a good web browser but Internet Explorer 7 was released in October 2006, yes that’s right almost 3 years ago and Internet Explorer 8 has been out for many months now too!

There is simply no excuse for not upgrading, if you have an internal intranet application that requires IE6, dare I say start looking for a new bit of software that has been updated in the past 3 years?

However I noticed over at Techcrunch today “YouTube Will Be Next To Kiss IE6 Support Goodbye” this image taken by a user of Internet Explorer 6:

It just needs a few more major sites to totally drop support for IE6 and the job is done, and it couldn’t come soon enough!
