IE6 Countdown - 10 years ago a browser was born. Microsoft release a campaign to eradicate the world of Internet Explorer 6, including global statistics, and a sly effort to upgrade to IE8/9.
This website is dedicated to watching Internet Explorer 6 usage drop to less than 1% worldwide, so more websites can choose to drop support for Internet Explorer 6, saving hours of work for web developers.
Microsoft has been behind the times for a long time, which makes this campaign all the more sincere. Although at heart this is an advertisement, it's a very positive move by the Internet Explorer team, and a sign that Microsoft is on the ball once again.
A little too late? We'll see.
