Default The Life and Times of IE6

If any of you follow smashing, I'm sure you've already seen this, but I thought I would post it for those that don't.

http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010...6-comic-strip/

It's not the funniest comic I've ever seen, but it's a pretty good summary. Especially when you realize it's a very accurate outline of Microsoft's most persistent business paradigm: market share is important, but the people who make up the market are not. When given competition, they can be a force to be reckoned with, but once they feel they're untouchable, they could give a crap less about the people who actually have to use the product.

Oh, and you can replace the Bush joke with Obama and either way it's still funny. :D

Thats a very straightforward way to explain IE6, not really funny but a good thing to show beginners who are wondering what all the fuss is about.

Not nearly enough swearing and M$ bashing for my liking!!!

On a serious note, pretty good summary
