37 Signals decided to pick August 15th, no wait, October 1st, as the day when they would "phase out" IE6: http://37signals.blogs.com/products/2008/07/basecamp-phasin.html
They must have been barraged with e-mails from angry users (probably already angry at Basecamp's extraterrestrial interface ...), because they posted a clarification: http://37signals.blogs.com/products/2008/09/further-clarifi.html Whoops, "phase-out"? Probably a stronger phrase than they intended. And nothing is going to happen on that day-- no features that are compatible only with the latest browsers, nothing to break current functionality-- so why make an announcement like this? With no concrete incentive to upgrade, the decision for the user to upgrade is arbitrary, and most people will put it off until it actually matters. This announcement strikes me as premature. Maybe I'm just being whiny on a Friday morning ... Happy Friday, - Nasir ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
