The government has decided it’s quite happy to keep using Internet Explorer 6 as its official web browser of choice. A nine-year-old piece of software that never adhered to commonly agreed standards of usability even back in 2001.
So when they start legislating about how they think we should be using our computers I think we can safely ignore them, can’t we?
I was going to write something about how IE6 makes it possible for our data to fall into the hands of unscrupulous criminals. Then I realized we’re talking about the Government. It already IS in the hands of unscrupulous criminals.
