blocking IE6

Let’s get this out of the way first…I think that IE6 is a horrible browser.

Now that that’s done, the sad truth is that many of us have to deal with IE6 on a daily basis. The school district I work for still has one quarter of the computers running Windows 2000. They have been updating the hardware, but for political reasons were unable to update the operating system for a few years. When I started last January they were halfway through a migration to Vista and had skipped XP entirely. However, there is still 1/4 of the district to go so we’re supporting IE6 for another 7 months or so.
