Microsoft will be supporting IE6 until 2011

This morning Microsoft announce to support Internet Explorer 6 till 2011. This decision was made because of two much support request from IE6 users, and microsoft said that because IE6 still hold some significant volume of usage around the world.

I don’t understand why microsoft is supporting it as it already launched two new and more standard browsers IE 7 and IE 8, which are more secure, more reliable and more user friendly.

Dean Hachamovitch, on the official IE blog, insists that this stance simply will not change, despite the company’s desire that people move onto IE8.

“Dropping support for IE6 is not an option because we committed to supporting the IE included with Windows for the lifespan of the product.”
