Design Company Hold ‘IE6 Funeral’
A US web design agency will be staging a mock funeral for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6 web browser.
Denver based firm Aten Design Group Inc. announced the outdated browser’s ‘death’ through the website IE6Funeral.com. A tongue-in-cheek message on the website states:
“Internet Explorer Six, resident of the interwebs for over 8 years, died the morning of March 1, 2010, in Mountain View, California, as a result of a workplace injury sustained at the headquarters of Google, Inc.
Internet Explorer Six, known to friends and family as ‘IE6,’ is survived by son Internet Explorer Seven, and grand-daughter Internet Explorer Eight.”
The references to Google and March 1 are due to an announcement by the search giant stating that they will be dropping support for IE6 in their Google Doc applications.
