It applies to anyone who has a website which is
visited by users of IE6.
When IE6 is parsing your page, it checks for a
match in its database. Upon finding matches, it
creates links on the page rendering, thereby
leading IE6 browsers off-site.
For instance, your web page might say Microsoft Sucks!
IE6 will automatically make the word "Microsoft" a link
to http://www.microsoft.com/ while on the same page,
your "Linux is great" probably won't be linked to
anything.

If you are a webmaster, web author, or web designer,
your use of the meta tag can prevent IE6 from creating
links "out of thin air." IE6 will then only show the
links YOU created on the page, not the ones from its
database.
