There is a growing trend among popular websites to end support for Internet Explorer 6 once and for all. It’s actually something that’s been going on for awhile now and any web developer will tell you its about time. The difference is now the big boys are doing it. Some big companies that have started are:

• Youtube: which now informs you that your browser sucks and recommends one of the latest ones and is predicted to drop support all together.

• Digg - http://about.digg.com/blog/much-ado-about-ie6
• Facebook (rumored) http://blog.jacobburke.com/2008/07/24/facebooks-new-design-on-ie6-doesnt-exist/

There are even sites out there with a single purpose of spreading the word to kill IE 6 usage:

Having used Windows 7 for about a week now on my new PDC Acer Tablet PC, I’ve discovered that Cisco VPN doesn’t work but there is a somewhat simple workaround. For whatever reason, mainly Cisco is a piece of Cr@p, their VPN client software doesn’t support 64 bit, even though a huge amount of PC’s ship with it everyday. (Nice job C(r)isco)
