rant-alert :  IHMO You would only use IE6 if  ;

  • You’re using an illegal version of windows and you’re not able to Windows Update, why would that be supported by anyone? If you’re too lame to buy a legal copy, switch to a OS that’s free (and stable, and secure, and  looks better.. and.. and.. well)
  • You’re at work and the ICT-dept.  is lame and not doing their job (security blackholes)
  • You’re a complete n00b and don’t know what windows-update is (you shouldn’t use a computer at all)
