(I copied the title format from the pre-existing question for XP.)

If I parsed the wikipedia page on IE6 correctly:

IE6 SP2 is end of life. (I could not find a page that said this, but it was released in 2004).

IE6 SP3 is the only supported version left.

My Windows Server 2003 system does not have IE6 SP3, it had IE6 SP2. From what I can tell, SP3 is only available bundled with Windows XP SP3. Additionally this Windows XP service pack was not released for every Windows XP platform.

So does this mean that "all non-SP3 versions of IE6 are EOL"? And does this mean, by effect, that IE6 is EOL on Windows 2003? (Windows 2000 is EOL already, Windows Vista and later are IE7+ only).

can't you just install IE7 or 8 or windows server 2003, IE6 has security issues anywy (as well as it's old and many site don't display 100% properly in it)

There are still a lot of proprietary programs in the commercial world that need IE6 to run. – JNK Jul 27 '10 at 20:31
Maybe they only need IE6 because so many people have it :)? Really they won't work with IE7? – Jonathan. Jul 27 '10 at 20:36
