end6 must die

Posted on 16 October 200916 October 2009 By antipaucity 1 Comment on end6 must die

Have any of you seen end6.org?

Apparently some web sites choose to redirect their viewers to end6.org rather than render in IE6.

Yes – IE6 is old. Very old. But hundreds of thousands of us are stuck using it while at work due to bad IT policies, or upgrade paranoia.

Taking me to end6 instead of your content doesn’t make me ever want to go see it at another time … say when I get home and can use a modern browser.

I’m all for pushing folks to get rid of IE6 in favor of, well, pretty much anything else. But telling me to get rid of IE6 when I have no control over it doesn’t inspire confidence in the service or content that is being offered.

And as for the end6.org site? Why is not promoting Google’s Chrome along with Firefox, Opera, Safari, and IE8?
