If you’re reading this at work, then chances are pretty good that it’s through Microsoft Internet Explorer 6, isn’t it? We’re sure you don’t want to, that you use Firefox or Opera at home, but your company just won’t upgrade to IE 8 because of “security reasons.”
Oh, yeah. IE’s up to version 8. Remember how your IT department said not to upgrade to 7, yet? Anyone in sales knows that “yet” generally means never, especially when their barely functioning intranet (look for the .asp) was hastily put together back in 2001 and won’t work on more streamlined browsers.
Well, it appears that the Internet hears your cries and is rebelling with a netroots “IE 6 No More” campaign.
Either they’ll win and your office will finally upgrade, or you’ll eventually be unable to browse any Web site written before the first season of American Idol. (We’ll always have the hamster dance.)
