Смысл: The author describes their decision to stop supporting the obsolete Internet Explorer 6 browser to save development time, replacing it with a friendly upgrade prompt that encourages users to switch to modern browsers.
A web developer stopped supporting Internet Explorer 6 by implementing a redirect to an upgrade page, successfully migrating all remaining legacy users to modern browsers.
Смысл: The main idea is to use a pricing multiplier (specifically 2.5x) to compensate for the extra labor required by legacy browser support, thereby financially incentivizing clients to abandon outdated browsers like IE6.
To reduce the burden of IE6 support, developers should charge clients a significantly higher premium for legacy compatibility, encouraging them to opt for modern, cheaper alternatives.
Смысл: The text argues that Internet Explorer's refusal to follow web standards creates an immense burden for developers, and proposes a coordinated effort to educate users to switch to better browsers.
A developer laments the technical nightmares caused by Internet Explorer's lack of standards compliance and calls for a collective movement to reduce its market share.
Смысл: The author argues that since technical arguments for switching from Internet Explorer 6 are invisible to average users, developers should implement subtle visual improvements (carrots) available only in modern browsers to motivate users to switch organically.

The author suggests redirecting IE6 users to Yandex's browser portal because it is a trusted source that encourages users to install modern web browsers.
Смысл: The main idea is that the continued necessity of supporting legacy browsers like IE8 creates a technical debt that hinders modern web evolution and penalizes all users through suboptimal performance and outdated coding practices.
The author examines the surprising persistence of Internet Explorer 8 and the technical burden its support imposes on modern web development.
Смысл: The text explains the architectural shift in Microsoft's browser strategy, moving from the legacy-burdened Trident engine to the modern, standards-compliant EdgeHTML engine to regain developer trust and ensure web interoperability.
Microsoft introduces EdgeHTML, a new rendering engine for Project Spartan that strips away Internet Explorer's legacy baggage to provide a modern, standards-compliant web experience while keeping Trident for legacy enterprise support.
Смысл: The main idea is that the Kogan online store is charging a 'legacy tax' to users of Internet Explorer 7 to offset the high cost of maintaining compatibility with outdated software, thereby encouraging users to upgrade their browsers.
