The long, slow, painful death of IE6

6:16p.m., Sun 6 Jul 2008

The graph below from a months worth of traffic to xfm.co.uk.

The green line is the %age share of IE6. The pink line is IE7 And the yellow line Firefox (all versions)

The interesting thing is the plateaus and grikes on the IE6 line.

The %age share in the week is around 29%, dipping to 15% at weekends. Which, for the less perceptive of you out there, means that it's industry keeping IE6 alive.
