Ie6 - When Will Be Dead ? - discution about developers and Internet Explorer 6

Saint_Michael
I give Internet Explorer about two more years, depending on how well Internet Explorer 8 is received, and with Internet Explorer 8 beta 2 coming out in August. Everyone should get a better idea what to expect with the full release since it seems Microsoft is serious with standards this time. You all have to remember if Internet Explorer 7 didn't bomb and mess up the standards like it did, then Internet Explorer would have been gone long ago. So it is all up to Internet Explorer 8 team to see how long Internet Explorer 6 lasts.

Another thing ... if you say that the best thing is no to test our work in IE6, what should we do if our clients asks for IE6 support???

Should we not fulfill our clients expectation???

I wouldn't call it an "expectation." And if it is the best thing to do, then it is not in the client's best interest to support old things.

That should change any client's mind.

IE 6 will never really die. there will always be someone someplace on a low end PC that will have to used IE 6. For one too many people dont care for IE7 encluding myself. As saint michael said maybe 2 years. But will bet my last credit that someone will be using it 5 or 10 yrs down the road. Myself I know people that still use and love IE 5.5, so I have to say it will never truely die.

    I just saw this article today and I find it very interesting and also wondering whats going on as
    well. ITs been awhile since I first heard about Internet Explorer 8 is coming out, can't find
    that post, but from what this blog is saying IE should already have a beta version of this explorer
    out, but so far nothing has come out for that nor bug reporting for internet explorer 7 as well.
    However, I see one thing about this though and that is everyone knows internet explorer is the most

    Well, Microsoft has just released Windows Internet Explorer 7 (note that MSIE is no more, it is

    are your opinions about the new IE, if you have tried it? Is it better than Opera or Firefox?
    Personally, I think it is better than MSIE 6, and pretty much the same thing as FX, but I still miss
    features that are integrated into Opera, such as a mail client, IRC client and mouse gestures. There
    is also a major change when rendering web sites: The text is anti-aliased. Personall....

    http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,...,1776290,00.asp QUOTE Sources say that IE
    7.0–which is code-named "Rincon," they hear–will be a tabbed browser. IE 7.0 will feature IDN
    (international domain name) support; transparent PNG (Portable Network Graphics) support, which will
    allow for the display of overlaid images in the browser; and new functionality that will simplify
    printing from inside IE 7.0, partner sources said. The new browser also likely will include a

    frustrations with Internet explorer. It has a built in pop up blocker that has never once fail me,
