IE6 RIP – IE9 Comes into Focus.

A very dignified bouquet of flowers from Microsoft arrived at the address of a Denver venue on Thursday, March 4, 2010, where mourners had gathered for a tongue-in-cheek funeral of Internet Explorer 6. The Redmond company obviously wanted to compensate for its absence from the funeral ceremony, unable to break away from the Internet Explorer 9 development process (pure speculation on my part). The event advertised via the IE6Funeral website was put together as a publicity stunt by Aten Design Group, but, of course, the real joke is that IE6 is not only not dead, but also nowhere near expiration.
