[Tell HN] 95 days to go to the death of IE7

Thought I’d get the word out early. Internet Explorer 7’s support schedule is goverered by the release schedule of Windows Vista [1]. Standard (non-extended) support for this finishes on the 10th April [2].

What this means is that by supporting IE7 with your sites and apps beyond this date you’re implicitly suggesting to your users that it’s OK to stay on a browser that’s no longer receiving security updates, which I think we’d all agree is a bad idea.

You all looking forwards to this date too? :)
