Internet Explorer 8 is very good because it is as stable as Opera. I hate the previous versions of IE like IE6 because it hangs frequently. .

Hi!

Very nice post. Being myself web developer I’m in constant battle with IE6. Some months ago I started new offensive misson: I started to put small php detection/blocking script in every page (where I could) so, I hope that will help to exterminate IE6. Greetings from Serbia!

Agree, IE6 is outdated, and there are better alternatives around, including IE7. This certainly is true for the home / small business user.
However: In the world of large organizations like banks and government you don’t want the latest browser, but you want a working system – and once it works, you never change it unless you absolutely have to!
Where I work we have lots of legacy applications, some web/plugin based, and we cannot just migrate from IE6 to IE7 unless we can be sure all the applications will continue to work on IE7.
(Same with Firefox: some FF2 Add-ons just don’t work on FF3 or are not available at all.)
For us, business continuity is simply more important than having the latest browser. We expect all our applications to be certified and supported on IE7 by 2010, so we will have to stick to IE6 until then. It’s easy as that.

Couldn’t agree more with this article. And I obviously don’t agree with Omni… I don’t think Eva sounds like, or tries to be, an evangelist. The only professional way (and I mean really professional way) would be to ditch IE6. Doing so would be a favor for all. I just don’t understand your point “Omni”. But hey, that’s just me…

Sorry, I agree with the fact IE6 is shit but this article sucks and sorry again for the expression. Did you mean that if I want to buy a new car, I should be able to demonstrate to the saler that I want that car …? every client (visitor) should be treated in the same way, you are a professional, not evangelist.
