When I created a plug-in killie6, not many supported me. Some declared my methods are deceptive and unethical. Yes, I agree, Microsoft's armor icon could be quite radical, but my plug-in could be restyled to not be deceptive.
My project was thus put to temporary sleep for a while. It was used on a number of smaller sites that did not care about ie6 users.
Few weeks ago I was notified that a large (currently undisclosed) web portal intends to use my plug-in which was great news to me. I was asked to add cookie functionality that would remember choice. Latest released will soon be added to this unnamed large portal, about which I will not hesitate to mention here as soon as I can.
Last couple of days brought big news from Norway about a number of influential websites declared a way on IE6, and subsequent slashdot article Norwegian Websites Declare War On IE 6.
Twitter.com is playing a big role in this war on IE6 as well via #ie6.
All I can say is I am delighted that this is happening and more individuals and organizations are making efforts to make Internet Explorer 6 the past.
