Fellow developers,

I turned on my media station computer the other day and I was prompted to install IE7 as a result of automatic updates.

This is fantastic news. Once IE6 usage drops below 10% I am throwing a party and you’re all invited.

For those who are not subject to the shortcomings of IE6, this is a joyous moment in web development history. Internet Explorer 6 is, to be nice, “behind”. It is extremely quirky, to find out more you can go to quirksmode.org (appropriate, eh?). IE6 does not support PNGs fully without using a filter, at which point you lose the ability to use the barnyard doors technique.
