Time to put IE6 out of it’s misery

No, it really is. The poor old, disease-ridden, one trick pony that is Internet Explorer 6.0 must be driven from it's last rocky bolthole of Government I.T. Departments and sent to the digital knacker's yard.

The bane of every web developer's existence, not a day goes by when I don't curse IE6 for doing absolutely everything differently from other, saner, web browsers.

It should have been sold off for glue years ago but thanks to Government and Corporate I.T. department's lethargy and inability to embrace new technologies for the sake of a easy life, it lives on.

Tell all your friends to sign the petition on the 10 downing street website to drive the old nag out to pasture.
