IE6 sucks among desktop browsers, sure, but IE6 is actually far ahead of the current Pocket IE in terms of standards compliance and rendering capability. So going from Pocket IE to IE6 is actually a giant step forward, for mobile IE at least.

About activex virus and stuff, I don’t think it will pose any problem, after all x86 code can’t run on arm, and after SP2, you need to explicitly click “Yes” at least twice to install and run an activeX control in IE6. If someone is stupid enough to do that, then he/she will get virus downloaded and run whether using IE or Opera or whatever.

Morning Bruce.
I too was mislead into thinking that the numbering for IE/WinMobile was different from IE/Win. (“OMG, why isn’t Opera Mini using version 10 too?”)
I am hugely happy to be proved wrong. Since IE6 is nearly dead on desktop, web developers will hopefully forget about mobile, and stop supporting IE6. This will force the hand of Windows Mobile device vendors to ship using an alternative browser instead. A big win is in the offing for Opera if you are courting the right execs in asia.

Also:
“from the 43 selectors, 10 have passed. 1 are buggy and 3 are unsupported”

I am pretty sure 43 minus 10 minus 1 equals 32, not 3

I am guessing you forgot to scroll across. You’re also missing the closing quote mark.
