Please leave posts like that for /. - IE6 is actually a pretty good browser in regards to standards compliance. No, it's not perfect, but neither is Mozilla.

Someone still uses Internet Explorer?

Sorry, I was just having a little fun; maybe, I needed to add another ;-))) Of course you are right - IE is a fairly good browser, although it is starting to show its age. At this time, I can't think of any reason why someone would choose IE over Mozilla (or even better, Galeon), other than that IE is the default. Mozilla used to crash on me, but that seems to be ancient history.

So, yes IE is still very good, but no longer the king, in my opinion. Mozilla and Galeon are as fast and stable, but with tabbed browsing and extensive configurability which is sorely lacking in IE.
