The IT engineer that is in charge of Internet Explorer has made public the fact that he wants to destroy Internet Explorer 6 because of the fact that the IT service presents too many IT security threats and it is also ancient, staying in the way of evolution. Internet Explorer 6 continues to be the most used browser even though it has been around for nine years. The thing is that being the default browser on Windows XP makes it wanted by companies. Ryan Gavin, head of the Internet Explorer business group, said that "Part of my job is to get IE6 share down to zero as soon as possible. The momentum we're seeing with IE8 is palpable. It's the world's fastest growing browser. The momentum behind Windows 7 will drive a refresh cycle. Turning off support for IE6 in a bid to push customers towards later versions is unacceptable." Despite wanting to stop IT services users having Internet Explorer as their default browser, Microsoft won't have Internet Explorer 9 on Windows XP, leaving users without the most modern browser.
