IE6update.com In Action
IE6Update.com provides a tiny bit of Javascript that gently informs an Internet Explorer 6-using website visitor that their web-browser is out of date and needs updating.
I didn’t have a working IE6 installation and upon visiting the site I wanted to see a demo. There was no video so…I made this 3 minute introduction.
“Ian Ozsvald, a professional screencaster over at ProCasts, graciously put together this awesome screencast that demonstrates how IE6 Update works.” – Nick Pettit of Done21
To get IE6 I settled on using Wine (Windows Emulator) inside the latest Release Candidate of Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty with a genuine IE6 install from Microsoft.
See it in action below, it will be in our screencast examples collection later.
Ian produces professional screencasts (ProCasts, twitter), writes The Screencasting Handbook and blogs (IanOzsvald.com).

Nick, you’re very welcome. As mentioned in email – if you have any other cool services and you’d like a screencast to demo them, just drop me a mail. If I’m free I’ll pitch in.
Ian.
