Even Microsoft Wants IE6 Dead 285
Tarmas writes "Microsoft has launched a website intended to persuade people to upgrade their browsers from Internet Explorer 6. In Microsoft's words: 'This website is dedicated to watching Internet Explorer 6 usage drop to less than 1% worldwide, so more websites can choose to drop support for Internet Explorer 6, saving hours of work for web developers.' About time?"
Of course they want you to upgrade to a newer Internet Explorer.

Another initiative of the sort: http://ieai.pieroxy.net/ [pieroxy.net]. The only difference is that it doesn't necessarily just target the version 6.

So, about 50% of the IE6 users worldwide are chinese... Actually, the top 10 countries with the highest IE6 usage are non-english... and they didn't think of approaching IE6-users in their own language? *sigh*
