Should you dump Internet Explorer, NOW?
D`oh, now there’s a redundant question.
Yesterday, ZDNET blogger Ed Bott asserted that “it’s time to stop using IE6.” I s-o-o-o-o disagree. For many organizations and all consumers, it’s time to stop using any version of Microsoft’s browser — IE6, IE7, IE8 and forget someday releasing IE9. Less than a week ago, the German government told its citizens to switch from Internet Explorer. This is good advice for you, too.
1. Users become dumb to the prompts and develop click-thru behavior.
2. IE7 and IE8 complexity lead to false senses of security.
