I know that I have to run Ie 6 in one of my departments because software that we purchased at the time was written on the ie6 engine.

why why whyyy does IE even exist???? I’v been building a site from scratch and it works perfectly in Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and Opera, but after a few days without testing it on Internet Explorer the whole freaking site is a mess and nothing works on that stupid browser. I swear Microsoft is actually a large professional company, why can’t they do a simple job and make IE compatible with all websites like ALL other browsers out there.

very cute tips, haha

especially the “They Thought The Upgrade Notice From Windows Was A Pop-Up Ad” one…

So Microsoft may go force updates in the future without letting the users know what’s been done -_-~~

This article is way off. The biggest reason people use IE6 is because you cannot upgrade to IE7 if you have XP SP1 or older.

I absolutely agree with you - for anyone who says IE is even *decent*, please run ACID3 tests on Firefox, IE7, Opera, and Safari. Results will be something like this:

Opera: 84/100
Safari: 74/100
Firefox: 71/100
IE7: 14/100

And IE8beta2 only bumps it up to 21/100. Internet Explorer is not a good product, the only thing it should be used for is downloading an alternate browser.

You forgot the OTHER reason: Microsoft bundles loads of crappy memory-resident applications with every new version of their browser. I use Firefox 3 and Chrome, and I still have IE6 installed because I’m *AFRAID* of installing anything else from Microsoft. Is it ok to install IE7? Maybe it is, but 15 years of bad experiences trusting Microsoft have taught me to stay away. Sorry Microsoft, you may make a great browser, but you’ve pushed too hard too many times.
