I’m just opposed to IE6&7.
IE8 is better than before in CSS

You know I’m all for it, IE6 is a major kick in the nuts. If you’re going to develop for it, do it from the START.

Many websites have stopped supporting it, such as anime-planet.com as well. I’ll still support it to a degree but I suggest you tell your client developing for IE will cost more money because it takes more time. =P

But James, your site looks very well in IE6!

Oh yeah, and Microsoft uses the same tricks we have to use for their browser. It seems like their web developers would complain enough about it to get them to actually program their browsers right.

^Look what is even on Microsoft.com and Xbox.com

It seems like when you have to do that with your own websites, that it means you screwed up, and screwed up BAD.

I quit developing for IE6. It isn’t worth it time wise to deal with it. Why exactly can’t people use Firefox, Chrome, or Safari instead of IE? That way they can still keep IE6 if they need it for business stuff.

I agree with Anthony’s comment. If Google banned all IE6 users, you would see IE6 disappear in a matter of months, maybe weeks. If a few other mini-giants did the same, it would probably be even faster. Even those companies that refuse to spend the man-power to do the upgrades will quickly realize that they cannot stay in business without Google.

Thanks to IE, XHTML was screwed, and now XHTML2 is no longer in development. This is good in some ways because we can focus on a single standard, but XHTML was pretty cool goddammit!

I think I would have a hard time telling my clients that I want to make their sites unusable for 15% of their customers. I think that if big sites like google, yahoo, amazon, etc. cut off IE6, it would be more effective than breaking a bunch of smaller sites.

I think one of the main reasons people dont upgrade is simply because they are running an illegal copy of Windows XP and therefore cannot upgrade.

Sad but true.
