Problems accessing web sites with IE6

In recent weeks I have noticed I am opening Firefox more and more and finding that browser gets the web sites that IE6 is failing on. Any ideas why? Perhaps some of the recent Microsoft Updates?

    I'm not sure exactly what it is you are asking, or what you are trying to do.

    I've noticed that some of the web2 type websites don't like IE6.
    If you're using anything earlier than XP (eg Win 2000, Win98 etc) you'll have to use Firefox.

    Maybe because IE6 is an old, unsupported, technically inferior product that noone with any choice in the matter should be using.

    I'm speaking as a web developer and the death of IE6 would make my job *a lot* easier. Please, stop.
