Internet Explorer 6 Countdown site
At the current time, the IE 6 is almost ten years old. According to Net Applications, the browser still occupies 12% share worldwide because it comes with Windows XP. While Windows XP is the most widely used operating system nowadays, IE6 features some security problems for the users. In the effort to get IE6’s share down to under 1% worldwide, Microsoft has recently unveiled the Internet Explorer 6 Countdown site. With the slogan “Moving the world off Internet Explorer 6”, the countdown site - www.theie6countdown.com – is specially designed to mark progress of moving Internet Explorer 6’s share to less than 1 %.
