Working around IE6-Bugs is not just annoing me, but also most customers I talk to about it. Let’s put an end to the misery and start educating the internet users – I’ll be glad to do my part. –Markus

Done21 is a new company, and having no legacy customer base to make angry yet, we’re developing all of our apps from the ground up with no IE6 support.

March on! 😀 –Nick Pettit

Come on people, lets do this. The more of us dropping support, the sooner users and the MS idiots have to react.

Sad that the users will have to suffer, but that is simply the major focus of microsoft. Why beta test, when you have enough power to make users buy and test for you. –Dirk Worring Ramstoeck

Count us in. We have just decided to quit our IE support – that doesn’t mean our site won’t work in IE7, but from now on our tech team are focusing on IE7+, FF and Chrome on MailMeShirts.comArt

iStockPhoto

Simon says:

Hi,

You’ll be pleased to know that iStockPhoto have decided to drop support for IE6. Unfortunately not until 2010, but then they do have a large system to move people over to.

It does at least give us web developers a really solid excuse to drop support for it altogether.

All the best,
Simon Wyndham

Here’s the email from iStockPhoto:

Starting in 2010, iStock will begin phasing out support for Internet Explorer 6 or lower. Why? Other than PC World Magazine ranking in the 8th worst tech product of all time, here’s our top 5 reasons to upgrade:

Security continues to be an issue with this legacy browser. We want people browsing to be safe!
It’s slow. Too slow. It’s orders of magnitude slower than modern, efficient browsers.
It’s non-standards compliant. This means our developers have to develop an almost completely different version of iStock to run on it.
It doesn’t properly support cool new functionality that you are asking for, and we want to deliver.
Alternatives are free, fast and easy to download:

Internet Explorer 7
Internet Explorer 8 R.C. 1
Firefox 3
Safari 3.2
Google Chrome

Neglecting to upgrade your software is like choosing to face the enemy with a cardboard shield and a paper sword when you could have the latest Kevlar™ vest and ray gun. Just upgrade already!
