Ok ok, I know. You’re thinking another IE 6 joke/rant. Well, this one is actually quite funny and doesn’t really need much else. (**See picture below) Simply put, IE6′s web standards compliance are so lacking, (and terrible at what they do manage to muster in support these days) that it will take a pretty face such as subject 1 (top) and turn it into subject 2 (not top).

While Microsoft still holds a commanding overall lead in the browser world with...
While Microsoft loves pushing their own in house products, this latest revelation is quite disheartening and downright rude. According to The Next Report, IE 6 users are facing a rather nasty forced decision when it comes to search engine preference. It appears that any attempts to switch the default search engine to any search engine other than Bing, results in a big fat error. While some may say big deal, who uses IE 6 anyway?
