Interesting … a while back I saw info showing EOL this year for IE 6, but now on the Microsoft site not only do they not show *any* EOL date or projected date for IE 6, IE 5 seems to be the same.
At one point they had it listed along with Windows 2000 support details … mainstream for 5 years, extended support for 5 years, then EOL. I think IE 6 came around in 2001 so now that would indicated EOL in 2011 … but curiously the links on the MS site between IE 6 and the ‘notes’ that it directs to for more information seem to recurse to each other with no further info Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security ' Security is an ongoing process, not a one time event !

I can't say its insecure since its under general support even. Sure Google Sites isn't supporting it or Youtube, but those aren't really business sites... Its starting to like like my developers are going to be irritated. -Bill On Wed, Jul 21, 2010 at 3:13 PM, Roger Wright <[email protected]> wrote: http://www.google.com/search?q=ie6+support+ends <http://www.google.com/search?q=ie6+support+ends&hl=en&ei=bXBHTJjONoSInQf0hI WlBA&start=10&sa=N> &hl=en&ei=bXBHTJjONoSInQf0hIWlBA&start=10&sa=N Die dulci fruere!
