Huh. I wish
They didn't say what he died of sadly.
Maybe it's a hereditary thing and will soon be passed on to his offspring.

Bad recurring case of viruses which he would transmit to his host.
Any Norton wakes planned?

I give Norton 360 days

Actual cause of death was too much surfing and the viruses from the salt water.
I know what Firefox will do on the headstone.
LOL, its only February 25, 2010 and yet IE6 died on a March 1, 2010. That day didn't even happen yet. I agree with the others in there, he will never be forgotten.
Personally, IE6 was my last version that I enjoyed. IE 7 and 8 are bloated and slow. Firefox and Chrome are all I need

My goodness! That means IE6 hasn't died yet! Let's go revive him!

It was straight forward to use and I liked the GUI with all the buttons accessible just like Firefox still is. Starting with IE7 if a site didn't work in Firefox I just forget it and went elsewhere as I'm not compelled to use IE8 at all but for one site only and that's just Microsoft Update. I just can't get past my complete utter loathing of the GUI design in newer versions.

I thought IE6 was featureless. I used FF back then but switched back to IE with tabbed browsing in IE7.
Unfortunately I'm still stuck with IE6 at work ... large public-sector departments tend to move forwards at dinosaur pace and our corresponding dev environment is no exception.

So the dev department hasn't developed the need into actually updating things. You're right though as most businesses won't update IE let alone Windows. I understand not updating Windows solely as an overall cost issue and possible retraining of some people to use it properly (wait they don't really train people anymore).

What I meant was that in just IE terms, I felt like since 6 it's just been full of bloat and junk. I've been using Firefox since late 1.X/early 2.X and have never looked back. I'm just saying if I had to use it, I could forgo tabbed browsing and use it over IE 7/8. Firefox and Chrome are what I roll with 99.99% of the time.

My comment wasn't a 'comeback' AJ ... just sharing a different view
I actually thought IE7 was a vast improvement over 6 (hence my return to IE). I don't think there's much to choose between 7 and 8. That's not really to say I'm a massive 'fan' - I'm just happy to stick with MS on this one.
I have Firefox portable as a standby, though I should really try some other browsers sometime
