IE 6 will NEVER die… Even if they “force feed” it to users. Why you ask? Because Microsoft is obsessed with validating EVERYTHING. I just upgraded, and it had to make sure Iâ€™m valid. I know a lot of my friends around campus went to get their computer fixed, and like most people they lose their OS cd so the person that fixes it ends up putting on a non valid version. But those of us who have updated wonâ€™t be able to test for it.

There’s already a vulnerability for IE7: http://secunia.com/Internet_Explorer_Arbitrary_Content_Disclosure_Vulnerability_Test/

As per this article, IE7 still renders like IE6, unless you change your DOCTYPE to strict, in which case they have fixed a lot of bugs in the CSS implementation. Why not totally abandon the buggy rendering? They say its "established." What a load of crap.

Or is it that they are starting to listen after 20 years? I doubt THAT but maybe it’ll happen.

One of the most interesting aspects of the IE vs. Firefox battle is the development of the ecosystem of extensions or add-ons. Right now firefox had a great advantage in this space but you can see microsoft trying to catch up.

Microsoft has a interesting partner in Trailfire, a recommended download for IE7. See link:
http://www.ieaddons.com/SearchResults.aspx?keywords=trailfire

But this extension is also available for firefox. See link:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3524/

I think the ecosystem for firefox and IE will decide who wins this battle. What do you think?

I bet you won’t be able to use IE6 anymore. However, I agree with Kory. I still hate it. Firefox for president.

So would I still be able to use IE6, for development purposes? I remember when I tried an early beta version of IE7 I couldn’t use IE6 anymore. Not sure if that changed.

If you are windows user, it is definitely worth upgrading. When I tried Vista RC1, it came with IE7 beta. Although I prefer firefox, there are some websites that I visit daily that has activex and force me to us IE. I thought MS has done pretty good job this time. They are way behind Firefox, but they are catching up.

I was under the impression that Microsoft was going to force feed this browser to Windows users who utilize automatic updates for their machines?
