Microsoft Sends Flowers to IE6 Funeral
Yesterday a web design group held a funeral for Internet Explorer 6, the out of date browser that just won't die. A lot of people were entertained by the idea and it looks like even Microsoft got into the spirit of things; a bouquet of flowers was sent to the party and signed by the team at Microsoft.
Last night the IE6 funeral Twitter-feed displayed the message, "Thanks for the flowers, Microsoft!" Included was a link to a photo of a bunch of flowers and a card with impossibly messy handwriting. From what we can tell it says:
"Thanks for the good times, IE6. See you all @ MIX, where we'll show a little piece of IE heaven. Internet Explorer Team at Microsoft"
The funeral wasn't without its share of naysayers, though. Also present were a group of protesters who set up camp outside with placards that read, "IE6 4LIFE! RETURN TO FAMILY VALUES!" and "FIREFOX = The DEVIL'S WORK! IE6 4EVR!!"
Then again, that is a sweet shirt with the RSS logo!!!
So say we all!
Yep, or either that they dont like change. Although, how did they get IE6 if they dont like change. hmmm.....

My roommate went to a Windows 7 unveiling party and I thought that was ridiculous. I don't even think there was free food. WTF is going on with people.
So say we all.
How do you think he new about the funeral
We know.
Actually RIP for Trident Engine that can't do what I need it to do (it fails Acid3 miserably).
Me too. But then again, when I think of the devil, I think of a red meaty babe with a pointed tail.
Sin is just so much funner.
Can't believe you guys didn't get that...
