If it's on the BBC, it's official : Don't use IE6, it's a security risk
And it's not just IE6, it's any version of IE. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7784908.stm Hopefully this will act as a kick up the arse for all those IT departments out there that are dragging their heels. I think I might try to find a way of making a list of big corporations that are still using IE6 - make a Hall of Shame to embarrass them into upgrading. If this thing on the BBC is true then they really aren't doing their jobs if they haven't upgraded. All you people out there in corporation-land who are still using IE6 - you really ought to be asking yourself, "what are we paying these people for?"
