Microsoft begs users to stop using IE6

Microsoft says \"everybody outta the IE6 pool!\"

Microsoft really wants you to stop using Internet Explorer 6. They’ve even launched a new website, the Internet Explorer Six Countdown, with the slogan “Moving the World Off Internet Explorer 6”. Mashable reports that there have been problems as more people continue to use IE6, including issues of speed, security, and improving the entire Web Ecosystem. It appears about 12-percent of people are still using IE6, most of them in China. Microsoft wants to get that number to less than one percent.
