CNN Reports on Web Designers’ Hatred for Internet Explorer 6

Web citizens trying to kill Internet Explorer 6:

Some Web designers are staging an online revolt against an old version of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser, which they say is hampering the ability of the Web to move forward in a cool and interactive way.

The designers say Internet Explorer 6, which was released in 2001 and since has been updated twice by Microsoft Corp., is crippling the Internet’s potential and slowing down the online experience. They also blame IE 6 for giving webmasters a collective headache, because they have to write special “hacks” into Web code to accommodate an outmoded browser.

I’d like the death to be as slow and painful as possible, but that would only result in IE6 being around that much longer.
