As Wikipedia puts it, Internet Explorer 6 “is widely derided for its security issues and lack of support for modern web standards, making frequent appearances in ‘worst tech products of all time’ lists, with some publications labeling it as the ‘least secure software on the planet.’” As such, IE6 Funeral is a clever bit of promotion from a design group in Denver, based around the shared hatred of everything that’s wrong with that ancient piece of crap software that remains rooted in enterprise environments (due to dependence on the program from other applications developed around it) and your technically un-savvy family members (due to it’s default installation in Windows XP).
The ‘funeral’ event page floated around the usual social sites a couple days ago, and the timing seems even more savvy now that YouTube will no longer support users browsing with IE6, announced today and to be made official as of the middle of March. That bit of news came at just the right moment for the ‘funeral’ idea, and goes to show that timing plays as big a role in good marketing as anything else.
No big deal in this part of the interweb, of course. The mighty A1 Great is developed with the latest browsers and users in mind. No room for grandma browsing slowly around here, I tell you what.
