Microsoft to support IE6 till 2014

"Nevertheless, experts say that IE6's demise is sure and company is only delaying it."<p>I'm sure that Microsoft would love to stop supporting it, but there are still plenty of users that don't really have an alternative: Microsoft dumping the browser will not speed up the migration. To many companies moving away from IE is the same as moving away from XP. I'm guessing Microsoft did this to bring the date in-line with Windows XP-- not because they want people to switch to IE6.

Honestly, I'm pleased to hear it. Nobody likes it when Microsoft (or any company) tells people how they ought to run their computer, or doesn't live up to its own obligations. I don't see why so many developers think it would be okay if Microsoft actively forced users to upgrade, regardless of what the developers themselves want.
