YouTube will kill Internet Explorer 6 support on March 13

Ars Technica, whose readers must still use IE 6, has taken a screen shot showing the warning as posted on YouTube that clearly shows that they will be dropping support for IE 6.  The move is a big step forward towards the removal of support for IE 6 as the outdated browser has been a thorn in the side of many developers.

While it is important for major companies to move away from coding for IE 6, the biggest hurdle will be getting the corporate world to adopt a modern browser.  Until then, the browser will unfortunately survive in the internet ecosystem.
