		vaksel on Sept 29, 2010 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: A clever way to fight IE6 I don't see why we are supposed to fix this problem. It's so much easier for Microsoft to do something about it, I mean seriously...how hard is it for them to add "Run as IE6" mode to IE9? That way companies can run their internal crap as "IE6"...and can browse the web as IE9.

It seems to me that installing Firefox is easier than risking an update to IE9, yet corporations won't do that either.

Given how "quirky" IE6 is, a "run as IE6" mode would be a lot of work. (Of course, they now offload the work to everyone else, but that's not their problem is it?)
