OK, maybe I get overwrought

I still get tempted to do this…

<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="emptystylesheet.css" />
<![endif]-->

But if I’m feeling generous the CSS file might have something like

* {font-family: sans-serif;}

😉

Now that’s just cruel. At least give the poor blighters some decency. Provide them with Comic Sans 😉

Why upgrade to IE7, when ppl can upgrade to something else.

...Provide them with Comic Sans 😉

LOL!  :lol:

@Adam Khan - I think MS shot themselves in the foot on IE6.  Apparently IE6 was so integrated in the OS (e.g. Win2000) that there was no way IE7 would be able to make its way in on to Win2000 machines.

Hence the lawsuits.  But after all that litigation, time, and money their still screwed…

Like Microsoft Firefox 2007 Professional Edition for example?

Sadly msfirefox.com is no longer up, nor is there any version on the way back machine.

here’s an idea of what it was like:

the above is missing the crucial RSS feature so here’s another link:

good times.

Actually, the Rissington podcast does exactly that for their IE6 users!  :coolsmile:

Now just how did you find that out? Love the IE6 background image 😊

For those who don’t feel like firing up the beast to have a look (can’t say I blame you) here’s a screenshot over at Flickr.

e-man that’s great - I took a look in ie6 (using ie tester) - fantastic.
