now if they'd do this for IE7, which is as much, if not more, of an abomination

1/4/2012 9:04:16 PM

I believe they're updating everyone to ie9?

1/4/2012 9:14:56 PM

for ie6 users maybe (if their hardware can even support it). at the moment ie7/8 are only being autoupdated in australia and brazil starting this month, and that policy will roll out to the rest of the world throughout the year

^^ IE9 only runs on W7, which means XP users get IE8, I guess. IE8 at least doesn't break everything, but it's still on some CSS2.1 shit.

IE9 > IE8 > IE6 > IE7

^^It would be awesome if a cross-promotion with Google led to the installation of Chrome Frame on ye olde XP clients.

[Edited on January 5, 2012 at 1:41 AM. Reason : IE9 also runs on Vista

Coming from someone who has been doing web programming and design professionally for over 10 years, you guys are crazy

IE6 is the devil when it comes to making cross-browser sites

*was the devil

IE6 is cake to develop for, comparatively.


You basically just tell the person asking you to build a site that works in IE6 to go fuck themselves. If they persist, and you actually have to build the site, it's still not that hard to build things for. IE7, however.....

works in ie, good enough for me.

If you'd actually been doing web programming and design professionally for 10 years, you'd remember just how god-awful things were before IE6.
