37signals drops IE 6 support
Yesterday 37signals announced that they will drop IE 6 support starting from August 15, 2008 so they could achieve better experiences.
Supporting IE 6 means slower progress, less progress, and, in some places, no progress.
Phasing out support for IE 6 across all 37signals products on August 15, 2008
This move some how reminds me when Steve Jobs announced he will drop Power PC's and use Intel, every body was waiting for the G5 PowerBook etc... so what to do is to sacrifice something to gain other alot of things.
As an HTML/CSS coder I understand how much pain they pass through to get there interfaces work with IE 6, and I understand to achive some experiences they don't have other choice than to drop IE 6 support.
It will be nice if there interfaces doesn't crash on IE 6 only some options and additions don't work, but if there's no way but to crash the interface onIE 6 they don't have other choice, only a message stating the cause of the problem and showing the links of IE 7, FireFox & Safari, will be nice, I'm sure 37signals understands that perfectly.
