Microsoft itself has told its users to bid goodbye to the ancient version of the Internet Explorer -- IE6.
Recently, it has stepped up its efforts to dissuade people from using IE6 by publishing what I'd like to call anti-IE6 stuff all over the web.
However, it is not without a reason. With HTML5 supported browsers coming into the market and millions of security loopholes being exposed in the old version of IE, and major firms like Google refusing to give browser support to browsers other than the so-called 'modern browsers', Microsoft has even decided to 'silently' update users' version of IE in the background to provide them with the latest technology and support.
The largest user base of IE6 is in China, and IE, as a whole still leads the global market, but with a narrow margin. Internet Explorer has a 51% share in the world's browser market!
Well, I posted this post as a tribute to the world's most used browser once upon a time - Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer 6!
