Sydney Morning Herald published an article on 17 August 2010, reporting that Microsoft is encouraging customers to cease using Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) and upgrade to the newer version, IE8, immediately. Microsoft is insistent that customers do so, to the extent that it is making the recommendation that customers upgrade to competitors browers.
When asked why, Microsoft says “IE6 is a nine-year-old web browser and doesn’t sufficiently protect users from the latest security threats. Microsoft is urging customers to upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer so that they are not leaving themselves vulnerable.”
