Several readers have written with a fun followup to yesterday's IE6 funeral. Apparently Microsoft, in a rare moment of self-jest, took the time to send flowers, condolences, and a promise to meet at MIX. The card reads: "Thanks for the good times IE6, see you all @ MIX when we show a little piece of IE Heaven. The Internet Explorer Team @ Microsoft."

And shortly afterward, plants surrounding the funeral began to wither and die from a exotic new fungus.

Sadly, Microsoft has a working fungicide but they refuse to ship it until next Tuesday.

Apple would have gone the "sue them" route for sure.
Actually, I am posting this Anon because Apple might sue me for using the word "Apple"

The fungus immediately bloomed into advertisements, and funeral organizers had difficulty pruning quickly enough to keep up with what they are now calling "deadware".
