Windows It's October 22 today. A completely random date in the grand scheme of things (we Dutch lost a big naval battle to the Ming dynasty on October 22 1633), but it also happens to be the release date of the newest version of Windows - Windows 7. Since Windows is still the most popular desktop operating system out there, this is pretty big news.

You clearly don't work for a large organization.

I would love to see companies move away from IE6. There are few good reasons to keep it around.

I know about momentum and supported apps, but 7 and 8 are much better security, and few web apps don't have a IE7 compatible version. Furthermore, IE6 is holding you to XP, weather you want to be there or not.

I only support it for specific clients anymore myself, and loathe to do that.
