[I]Finally.[/I]
I seriously hope my old college still isn't using IE6, It cost me a warning and breaching their ToS on using their computers but i didn't use it and used a portable version of Firefox.
This cake would be more fitting for the most of us here. [img]http://i.imgur.com/EW7Om.jpg[/img]
And just like that, all my old IP cameras no longer work.
My school computers still use Windows XP SP1 and IE6
Just 7 8 and 9 too go.
[QUOTE=Bytecry;34049142]Just 7 8 and 9 too go.[/QUOTE] Actually, just 7 and 8. Version 9 is pretty okay and not as much pain for web designers as the older versions.
"The software giant held the light-hearted celebration as it revealed that the program was used by less than 1% of US internet surfers." Meanwhile, in China, >25% still use it. [sp]I know from personal experience[/sp] [editline]4th January 2012[/editline] Wait, 25% doesn't seem right, when I visited, almost every single webcafe still used IE6, and my relatives all used it if they had internet.

Like, a lot bigger. With ~ 1.34 [U][B]billion[/B][/U] people living there I don't think those cafès and relatives would make for a good statistic.
Heh, i can't see how many are using internet explorer in sweden, but i gave a friend a computer that can't support any browser except IE6. It's really old, it's a ibm thinkpad t20. I guess there are people who are 0%

I'll treasure that cake forever, thank you.

I know someone who has Windows 2000. IE7 does not support anything below XP. Still, there are alternative browsers, so people in his shoes are not forced to pay for an upgrade.

IE 6 was the last version I used before switching to firefox. After the update to 7 everything about IE went to shit.

I still have IE6 on an old laptop, I only use it to fuck around with :v:
