The foundation I created a website for is still using W2000 on most of it's machines, therefor they are stuck with IE6. Upgrading to XP or Vista is both impractical for older machines and expensive. So unless MS makes it backwards compatible we have quite a few years of IE6 ahead of us. The problem with IE6 is that it only runs on XP SP2 and up.

Oh. That thing I used to use before firefox. I'm not a Microsoft fan in general. Unless I'm mistaken, first they copied Netscape and now they are just copying Firefox (except firefox has great add-ons) I use Firefox, Safari, and I just downloaded Opera. I like having several so I can open more than one Google Account at a time. Internet What? Oh. That thing I used to use before firefox.

They probably have no idea that it's their own fault, not the webmasters. Perhaps we should return to the old days and put little "Best viewed with IE7 or Firefox " messages on our sites.

The content appears at the bottom, after both sidebars' content. Perhaps this slow breaking of sites will force users to update to something a little more current :???: Thanks to IE6 being the defacto browser installed at my work’s Kanayama offices, I can tell you that your site is broken with the old browser.

I mean, come on! Anyway I stopped using Explorer 7 a couple of months ago, not because I hate explorer but because it just would always freeze on me. Now I use Firefox and it's been pretty reliable.
