Microsoft to stop support of IE6
According to Microsoft they will support Internet Explorer 6 until the year 2014. As you may know websites Digg.com and Youtube.com are starting their campaign to stop supporting the old browser.
Microsoft says on their IE Blog “For technology enthusiasts, this topic seems simple. Enthusiasts install new (often unfinished or beta) software all the time. Scores of posts on this site and others describe specific benefits of upgrading. As a browser supplier, we want people to switch to the latest version of IE for security, performance, interoperability, and more. So, if all of the “individual enthusiasts” want Windows XP machines upgraded from IE6, and the supplier of IE6 wants them upgraded, what’s the issue?”
In short Microsoft will continue to support Internet Explorer 6 because they have extended Windows XP support until the year 2014. Internet Explorer 6 is a part of the operating system and will be supported by Microsoft until XP has expired.
However, here at the Waves of Tech we encourage everyone to upgrade your version of Internet Explorer so you can be as secure as possible or use another browser such as Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or Safari
Surf safely everyone!
