Can Norway Kill IE6?

There has been an ongoing campaign the last week in Norway, started by Finn.no, our biggest buy/sell website, to warn users of IE6 (Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 for those who don’t know jack) that they need to upgrade. It’s reached such big international websites as Wired and PCWorld.

I’ve even put the message on one of my websites to join in on the fun. That doesn’t mean I don’t support IE6 when I design websites, since about 20% of the users out there still are stuck with IE6.  I say stuck, because a majority of users are stuck. They probably use it at work, and their system admin will not let them upgrade, because all the wonderful web apps they use only work in IE6.
