I frequently run into people who only use Internet Explorer 6. I can't understand it. When people ask me for help with their computer, and I see that is what they are using, my first thought is that is their problem. Not only is it a huge security headache and an entrance point for all kinds of crap into their computer, but it doesn't have any of the features or enhancements that have been created over the past few years.
For instance, Firefox now has a built-in spell check, which checks in real-time:
Regardless of any other feature or security enhancement, I would switch just to get that. To me, using IE 6 is like going back to using a version of Office which didn't have a real-time spell checker.
I can't figure out why more people haven't switched.
