MobileMe Does Not Support IE6
IE 6 is definitely the most painful browser for us to support – it’s seven years old and doesn’t even fully support the CSS 1.0 standard created in 1996. Microsoft’s done an incredibly poor job of getting users to upgrade. It looks like it’s going to take pressure from big apps like MobileMe to seal the deal.
Not surprising given the insane Javascript stuff. But every time I look at the IE7 interface, my inner voice just shakes its head and says “Really?” It reminds me of the silly world of browser frontends, circa 1998 (Neoplanet?), where people were just going all kinds of retarded with the UI. Like Vista, I have a hard time sitting in front of it and accepting that, yes, this is the finished, shipping product.
