Microsoft Celebrates IE6′s Death With T-Shirts

How do the people responsible for IE6 — a slow, buggy, security nightmare of a browser — observe IE6′s demise? With commemorative tees, of course. If only IE6 were as clever as the piece of clothing recognising its overdue drift into oblivion.

The shirt, cooked up by the Internet Explorer team, almost makes me a little sad. And then I realise what death we’re talking about, and that these people are probably glad the desiccated corpse is blowing away in the wind. Now let us pretend IE6 never happened and only think about IE9. IE9 is all there has ever been. Everything is OK. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. [Ed Bott]

    Even IE9 is full of non standard quirks, they hardly have that much to celebrate.

    Now let us pretend IE in general never happened and only think about Chrome. Chrome is all there has ever been. Everything is OK.

      At work, I’m still on IE6… I’m eagerly waiting to see if the creeping death overcomes the corporate firewall

    Removed the 6 from the T-shirt and I’d wear it ;)

    But the problem with the line, is IE6 had no high points EVER.
