Many have came to IE6 funeral on 1st of March 2010.

Imagine everyone, web designer majority, came with all their tuxedos on, have the happiest face they ever have had. That is how the funeral looks like.

Anyway speaking of IE6, there are lots of memories to talk about. Here are what we did together…

Geocities

Before web, I was a mIRC geek Long after mIRC, it seems that everyone has a IRC channel website, which prompted me to learn web design with, Geocities

Table and more table

After a few month fooling around with Geocities WYSIWYG system, I finally took the time to learn about HTML, which is all about… Table. I still remember how I struggle to remember what tr and td do… Until I found out Microsoft Frontpage was a great tools dealing with all the table It was HTML 1.0 and 2.0 back then.

Firefox

Well, all thanks to IE6 then I finally found Firefox an alternative that works pretty damn well. Especially on the security wise. Back then, IE6 doesn’t block pop-up and very easily got into malware and adware, which I ended up formated my computer, which running Windows 98 back then, it was easy to install the whole system though, taking that the drivers aren’t that much back then.

Hopefully, IE6 percentage will come down soon. As I checked the stat IE6 taking 40% of overall 100% IE browsers Well, I don’t support IE6 nowadays anyway…

Like usual, before Microsoft even have the time to release for sell, their OEM copy already been cracked and sell on the pirate market. Of course, we can’t blame it to Microsoft for their deal with Asus and Acer for they are among the first to release OEM Windows 7 on their machine.

However, recently Microsoft taking the step on this pirate copy. Microsoft going to release an update (I’m sure it will be one of the important update) to target the activation hack.

Sad thing, it is going to happen like how Windows XP activation. On the first day of the update release, hackers will find a way to know which update to void and how to activate it and install the next update.

This is the war Microsoft has been fighting with hackers around the World. My opinion? Good luck
