Microsoft Internet Explorer 6
December 20th, 2010
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 (or IE6 for short), was released in 2001. This is about halfway between the birth of the web, and the current day.
IE7 was released in 2006, and IE8 was released in 2009. Both newer versions contain numerous security, standards and performance upgrades. Microsoft made IE8 a critical update as of May 2009. This means it has been over 3 years since Microsoft officially stopped all support for IE6. The user base for IE6 is in decline and according to many reports is below 5%.
