Let's continue the browser talk for a while. Let's move from the pinnacle of browsing, all the way down to the very drainage pit: Internet Explorer 6. To me, Internet Explorer 6 is that annoying zombie that just won't die that chops off 80 of your health in a grueling midnight Left 4 Dead expert session. Microsoft may not say so outright, but they seem to be implying they agree with me.

Yes, of course.
But is IE "forever tainted"? Will we "point and laugh"?
I'm no fan of IE (or the circumstances surrounding it), and have spent most of the last decade avoiding it.
However, it has spurred the development of high-quality alternatives by creating a relatively high minimum bar for newcomers. It enabled me to choose between good browsers, rather than make do with poor ones. Even for a longstanding IE-hater like me, I'd view the demise of IE6 more like, "farewell, and by the way, thanks for founding the modern Internet." It will never be zombie to me.
