Why Upgrade IE6?
January 7th, 2010 by sandraI have been amazed recently at the amount of people still using Internet Explorer version 6. Late last year I was delivering training programmes and out of 3 training locations, 2 were still using IE6 on some computers. This is madness, it went out with the ark, well not really but it is several years old and does not work properly. So why upgrade?
1. Web designers and developers do not support this version anymore
2. Some websites don’t displayed properly
3. There are security issues which can put your computer, your data and your privacy at risk. The latest versions are safer, easier to use and include a host of new features
4. Its OLD and OUTDATED – would you use a cassette player when you could easily upgrade to an iPod?
It’s FREE so upgrade to IE8 now, just visit http://www.microsoft.com/ireland/ie8ireland/ and download.

why use +ie at all ?
It has a variety of bugs with each new ver. /
Bill.gates seems to direct his progrmmers & developers to make sure it only works properly with other microsoft programs – everything else suffer’s ( but a wee bit less with each new version .. Thanks i suppose )
- finally it is a huge drain on any computers resources (memory and processor ) for a web browser -far too much , give me firefox or chrome any time over ie8 or any previous version.
