- Retiring Internet Explorer textslashplain.com
It’s with love that I beg you… please let Internet Explorer retire to the great bitbucket in the sky. It’s time. It’s been time for a long time.
- A New Way to Test Internet Explorer on OS X, iOS and Android | Rey Bango blog.reybango.com

- The Skinny on IE's Update Policy « Paul Irish paulirish.com
"The big change is how IE now interacts with Windows Update: Before you had to opt-in to have "Recommended" updates installed automatically. It's likely few folks did. Now, IE upgrades are shipping as "Important" and this class of updates are defaulted to install automatically. A user can still opt-out and immediately after the announcement of this feature they also published details on how enterprises can opt-out. But still, this is a good move, it helps."

PIE makes Internet Explorer 6-9 capable of rendering several of the most useful CSS3 decoration features.

Microsoft provides virtual machine disk images to facilitate website testing in multiple versions of IE, regardless of the host operating system. Unfortunately, setting these virtual machines up without Microsoft's VirtualPC can be extremely difficult. These scripts aim to facilitate that process using VirtualBox on Linux or OS X. With a single command, you can have IE6, IE7, IE8 and IE9 running in separate virtual machines.
Of course I find this a day after I finish rebuilding all my VMs from scratch by hand.
- Chromium Blog: Introducing Non-Admin Chrome Frame blog.chromium.org
Excellent: Chrome Frame no longer requires admin rights.
- HTML5 elements in Internet Explorer without Javascript debeterevormgever.nl
But would you.
Solution in the very loosest sense of the word (i.e. it won't work for my particular issue).
"<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”ie=edge,chrome=1″>
As a webmaster, you can use this simple meta tag that the new stable release of Google Chrome Frame can detect, and if present, will render the page using Google Chrome rather than Internet Explorer. This gives users the appearance of using IE, but the speed and standards compliance, and security of Chrome."
- HTML5 enabling script remysharp.com
Since HTML5 is getting more attention by way of marking up our new pages, and the only way to get IE to acknowledge the new elements, such as <article>, is to use the HTML5 shiv, I've quickly put together a mini script that enables all the new elements.
- Official Google Enterprise Blog: Modern browsers for modern applications googleenterprise.blogspot.com
Google gradually dropping support for IE6.

We’re also going to begin phasing out our support, starting with Google Docs and Google Sites."

- MoD sticks with insecure browser | Kable kable.co.uk
"According to parliamentary written answers received by Labour MP Tom Watson, the majority of departments still require staff to use IE6. Most have plans to upgrade to the more secure IE7, and some to IE8, but the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has no plans to change." Deary me. Hardly surprising. IE6 still unfortunately a player.

- IE 8 still does not resize text sized in pixels | 456 Berea Street 456bereastreet.com
"Yes, there is full page zoom (which works much better in IE 8 than in IE 7), but the controls for resizing text only are still there, and they still do not work when pixels or an absolute unit has been used." Still? Doh.
