IE8 being pushed to Windows XP?

Could it be?

Has Microsoft forcibly started pushing IE8 to Windows XP machines via Windows Update?

As cruel as it might sound the user still has an opt-out choice when security updates are available. The spreading of IE8 could mean a quicker death of IE6 which is good for everyone except for those corporate IT admins clinging to their installation-images with IE6 as default. Die, clingy corporate admins, die!

I'm carefully excited.

Change has come! IE8 released.

Finally. Internet Explorer 8 has been released. One small step for the users, but a giant leap for the internet.

Hundesitter.dk joins the fight

The most popular danish community-site for dogsitters ("hundesittere"), www.hundesitter.dk, has joined in on the fight against IE6. The site now employs an IE6 warning in Danish on the front page.
A big thanks to the author of the site, Sabine Förderer.
