Microsoft is continuing its campaign to eradicate IE 6, celebrating a new low in IE 6 usage share in the U.S.



From All About Microsoft:
In 2011, Microsoft launched an IE 6 countdown campaign to encourage users to migrate away from IE 6. At the end of last year, Microsoft announced plans to begin pushing automatically in 2012 the latest version of IE to users via Windows Update, which the company is hoping will further erode IE 6’s marketshare. (XP users will get IE 8, since IE 9 doesn’t work on XP.)

While IE 6’s plummeting share is good news for developers stuck supporting multiple versions of IE, I know of a number of business users who are still stuck with it because they’ve developed internal apps that rely on it.
