Internet Explorer 6

Internet Explorer 6 is a version of Internet Explorer that was introduced alongside Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 and was the longest running version of Internet Explorer until IE 7's release nearly six years later. IE 6 lacks many common features such as support for transparent PNG images. This is the last version of Internet Explorer that is compatible with Windows NT 4.0 (albeit requiring SP6a), Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows Me. This is the first version of Internet Explorer to ship in the IA-64 and x64 architectures, alongside x86.
