	<title>Microsoft Sends Flowers To Internet Explorer 6 Funeral</title>

	<htmltext>Several readers have written with a fun followup to <a href="//tech.slashdot.org/story/10/03/04/1557254/Funeral-Being-Held-Today-For-IE6">yesterday's IE6 funeral</a>.  Apparently Microsoft, in a rare moment of self-jest, took the time to <a href="http://blog.seattlepi.com/microsoft/archives/196608.asp">send flowers</a>, condolences, and a promise to meet at MIX.  The card reads: <i>"Thanks for the good times IE6, see you all @ MIX when we show a little piece of IE Heaven.  The Internet Explorer Team @ Microsoft."</i></htmltext>

	<htmltext>Reckless?  Please.  Everyone likes to hate on IE, but that's because we all have short memories.  Back in the day, when IE 6 was released, it was easily the best browser around.  And IE 5, and IE4.  It is naive to think any software company can prevent every security hole at the time of release.  There will *always* be a determined and clever attacker who finds a way after it enters the market.  And being the biggest in the market obviously makes them the biggest target.

IE also takes a lot of heat for "standards", but that's because sometimes they are inventing the thing that will turn into the standard, like the XMLHttpRequest object, the foundation of AJAX.

Believe me, supporting IE6 in 2010 is the bane of my existence, but I don't think it's fair to assign blame years later, for something that was created so long ago.  In fact, I am thankful they put so much work into backwards compatibility, otherwise I think things would be even worse.

Ultimately, IE6 will be replaced by IE8 in the next 1-2 years as the corporate world rolls out Win7 deploys.</htmltext>
