    Some Real News!

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...pinion/columns

    <<<Microsoft pulls the plug on Windows 98, 98 Second Edition and Millennium Edition today: no more bug fixes, no more technical support, no more nothing.>>>

    This is a prelude to killing IE 6.0.

    None of these operating systems was ever going to support IE 7.0.

    It would be nice if they killed ie altogether
    (It would be good for MS$ too since it has proven to be more of a liability than an asset)

    Yes, it is good news for IDN; not sure
    IE6 will be 'killed off' in weeks though,
    I am think the timeframe for that will
    be more like years (perhaps 18mo/2 years).

    You can continue to run what you like, but for all OS that do not support IE 7.0 are being killed off. This is clearly part of the run up to IE 7.0 and means that they don't have to do any more abortive work on IE 6.0. I would think that you have had or are about to get your last security update for IE 6.0. That doesn't mean that you cannot continue to use it, but it means few actually will.

    Yep, agreed. It is big news to be sure
    and it makes even more sense when we
    consider that IE6 was 'the mistake', the
    crappy insecure browser that MS never
    really got right and would rather we
    forgot...

    MS now have an accelerated program of
    browser development (and release) and it
    will only be a matter of time before IE6
    becomes a distant memory for pretty much
    everyone.

    Again, this is huge news for IDN; I feel the
    importance of this cannot be underestimated,
    and yes, the emphasis on now on op systems
    and browsers that support IDN.
