I share a sneak preview of Internet Explorer 6 and express concern that Microsoft might bundle the browser exclusively with the upcoming Whistler OS instead of offering it as a standalone application.
A sneak preview of MS IE6. What is worrying is that Microsoft may not release IE6 as a standalone application. They’re planning to bundle it with their next OS: Whister.
I'm highlighting that the preview release of Internet Explorer 6 is now available. This early version offers a first look at the browser that would eventually dominate the web landscape for a decade after its release.
I previewed the public release of Internet Explorer 6, noting the revolutionary introduction of smart tags and the useful new image toolbar. It's a significant update for the dominant browser of the early 2000s.
I noticed the release of Internet Explorer 6 and am already seeing hits from it. It's a significant update, but it notably lacks integrated Java and plugin support, affecting how we build for the web.

I verified that IE6 usage doubles during office hours compared to midnight. This data confirms that corporate legacy systems and intranets are the primary drivers of IE6's persistence, even as employees use modern browsers at home.
