I know this is a bad browser. But when I’m on the user end, it’s easy enough to ignore, especially when I use Firefox or Opera or even Konqueror. However on the web author side, it really makes me tear my hair out. And I just found a beaut of a bug, where it doesn’t like plaintext http in certain situations. I played around with it for a while, and finally just excluded the call to the plugin based on browsers. So, if you’re reading this with MSIE 6, you are not seeing the recent comments in the sidebar. (And if you’ve got XPSP2 and/or plan to upgrade to Vista, definitely snag IE7. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with how many standards compliance issues they actually fixed…)

My coworker isn’t very helpful: telling me I should put in an activex control that shuts down IE6 if someone tries to open DR in it Oh, the temptation…
