IE6 Bites The Dust — Finally

It was bound to happen. Microsoft’s long suffering browser, Internet Explorer 6, was finally laid to rest. The funeral, facilitated by Aten Design, was an open casket affair. Check out pictures of the ceremony on Flickr. The obituary on the official page was short and sweet:

“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.”

I wish we could put a few other apps to rest as well.
