You wouldn’t drink 9 year old milk, so why use a 9-year-old web browser?

Written by Vygantas Lipskas on May 15, 2010

Yet another campaign is floating around the web, and this time it’s from Microsoft Australia. Company has launched a new anti-IE6 site that urges users to upgrade their web browser.

“You wouldn’t drink 9 year old milk, so why use a 9-year-old web browser?”, it says.

In addition, page displays Internet Explorer 8 NSS Labs results (which might look shady to some of the internauts): “Internet Explorer 8 caught socially engineered malware 85% of the time compared to Firefox 3’s 29%, Safari 4’s 29% and Chrome’s 17%1.”

Opera is also much faster and more secure than IE 6

Opera, the fastest and most secure web browser

  2. Uh Oh! I’m sorta drinking 9-year old milk. :eyes:My OTHER computer, the Windows 98SE one has IE6. :insane:And THIS one, my Windows XP computer is only slightly better.It has IE7.

  5. effective ad somehow a logo can be very catchy!! milk should be the best! no wonder they make noise!! some of theOpera design entries had some forgettable logos… I am looking forward to see the winning one!

  6. Ohhhhh! So I’m stuck with IE6 on my Windows 98SE?I didn’t know that. I thought for sure I could at least upgrade to IE7. I could have sworn that DrLaunch had told me I could and SHOULD upgrade it to IE7. Maybe by now I’m mixing up conversations. Maybe it might have been upgrading my IE7 to IE8 that we were discussing.Yes, Chas, on my Windows XP computer (THIS one), I do have SP3 on it and all the Updates. I have it set to automatically download all the Updates. So, I’ll be covered on THIS computer.

  8. IE7 (needs xp sp2 or above) IE 7 is replaced by IE 8 which is still on XP sp2 or higherhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ie7I would recomend updateing IE 7 to IE 8
