Microsoft is celebrating the demise of Internet Explorer 6. It still has a small hold globally, but in the United States the archaic browser version has dropped below one percent — which is essentially the same thing as extinct. As impressive as that is on some levels, it also means that one percent of the businesses or consumers out there are still stubbornly using IE6. Shame on you.

There has been a lot of talk lately about the one percent in the United States. While many in the 99 percent economically are upset or frustrated at the wealth disparity between then one percent and the 99 percent, being a part of the one percent is still an enviable position that few would turn down. The IE6 one percent, however, is an embarrassment that almost nobody would be willing to admit publicly.
