Google also labels IE6 as an unsupported browser, meaning it fails to run some Gmail features. http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/40785/140/ TG Daily – Wednesday, December 31, 2008 – Taking a page out of Apple’s book, Google is now urging Gmail users to drop Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) in favor of Firefox or Chrome that, according to the company, run the popular web-based email service “twice as fast.” Google also labels IE6 as an unsupported browser, meaning it fails to run some Gmail features.

And trying to develop anything in CSS or javascript for IE6 is also a pain; usually resulting in extra CSS stylesheets and javascript files just to support this out-dated monster. Yes! Yes! Yes!

I've been thinking lately that what we need is a community around educating people about the issues of continuing to use IE6. There are a lot of groups that are trying this but they too often fall into the trap of being too technical. What they need to do is explain in simple terms why an update is required which is simple to understand and quick to read. (Something kind of like this [http://www.stopie6.org/top-10-reasons] only more serious and less techie.) Good summary Forest.
