The article I read mentioned that MS is going to force IE7 on users, but that there was a way that sysadmins could prevent this. Whether that means that lots of people are going to try and prevent it is another story. The problem is that as long as there is even a 5% or 10% level of use of IE6, developers at least will need to keep it around.
I personally have put off installing it IE7 at home so that I can still test with IE6. We shall see. Hey...at least this will stop all of you crybabies from whining about how crappy IE6 is. What's next on your complaints list? ;) -----Original Message----- From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of cfdvlpr Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 6:10 PM To: jQuery (English) Subject: [jQuery] Feb 12 IE6 Forced Update Does anyone know about how many IE6 users this will affect? After Feb 12, 2008 is it likely that your IE 6 users will drop much? If you have an ecommerce site that currently has about 40% IE6 users, is this percentage likely to go much farther down? Or, is this update not forced on the average IE 6 user? I'd just love to see IE6 go away, but I don't want to get my hopes up if this so-called forced update is not really forced on many of our IE6 users.
