    I clicked on it like a retard and panicked when the screen came up. As soon as I saw the multiplying windows I was scared sh!tless my computer was going to lock up. So glad I'm 3 years sober of IE.

    Anyone still using IE6 gets exactly what they deserve. (IE 7 and 8 for that matter).

    I tried this on my computer that still has IE on it. It crashed.

    You mean a lot of major banks? (scarily enough).

    Oh how happy I was until I read this.

    Sadly it's probably not as farfetched as it sounds. I think (I know we did, for certain applications) within the govt. still used/uses it as of recently. Google Chrome now

    There was supposed to be released an IE6 simulator that runs inside IE 9 (or maybe IE 10) that would let corporates get away from the pile of junk.

    I was just testing some FR software and it wasn't uploading the .zip file properly.
    I called the company and the support tech tells me:

    "You have to use IE to get it to work properly"
    "Ah, I see, well actually I don't"
    "You do if you want to use this program"
    "Exactly"
    "Huh?"
    "Good day, sir"

    I have Group Policies in place to prevent Firefox, Opera, Chrome and (most especially) Safari...

    The link won't work in IE, so I suppose it's an accurate sim.

    It isn't called Internet Exploder for nothing.

    That line has saved me from burning pitchforks more than once

    It's great. Saves me from having to deal with the retarded mess that is Firefox's proxy server settings and the utter abortion that is Safari. Oh and a big fat "fuck you" to Apple for making it a default install with iTunes too, you bastards.
