Rest of the warWhat if you took the raw, pre-patched, 10-year-old versions of Internet Explorer 6 and Netscape 6.1 and tried to surf the modern Web? What would happen?
A decade ago, Internet Explorer 6 and Netscape fought for the hearts and minds of the Web-surfing public. But since then, IE6 has been vilified as unfit for use and abandoned by its creator, and Netscape has faded into the history books. Could you still surf the Web with these two ancient browsers?

Re: Retro Browser War - IE6 vs Netscape in 2011
I was about to say that IE6 is not 10 years old, but then I Googled it and it does indeed turn 10 this year...
Also important to note the 4 year gap between IE6 and IE7, the gap that opened a market for FF, Opera etc
