Happy New Year - Good bye MSIE 6 !

"In 2009, no more support for Internet explorer 6", that's what we have decided many months ago. It means that we won't even check if the website is working with MSIE6, especially if it's a web application.

It is, of course, a symbolical decision, but there are some numbers behind it; here is the market share of browsers by versions in December 2008:

Browser Versions market share of December 2008

So take a look at this: All versions of Firefox + All versions of Safari = 17.18 + 3.77 + 3.39 + 3.28 = 27.62%

With Good Browsers' market share ever growing, and MSIE 6.0's ever shrinking, we think it's the right time.

Happy new year !

EDIT: Google also thinks it is the right time: Google tells users to drop IE6

Go to Hell MSIE !
