On: Much Ado About IE6

if reddit, myspace, facebook, twitter, and other applications i don't use also did this --- perhaps that damn thing would finally die

IMO, Facebook and Twitter could really change things if they wanted to.

Heck, don't drop support for IE6. Just show a banner on the top of the page which says something to the effect of "Hey! You're using outdated software. Would you like to upgrade?". Millions of non-geeks use Facebook/Twitter everyday. Even if 1% of them upgraded, it would make a hell of a difference.

Facebook degrades quite gracefully, actually. I'm surprised their site looks as good as it does on IE 6.
