Corporate IT Just Won't Let IE6 Die

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the your-arms-bloody-off dept.

alphadogg writes "Security experts, industry analysts, and even Microsoft recommend that IT departments upgrade Internet Explorer 6, yet new research shows that while there may have recently been a mock funeral for the aging browser, IE6 is still around and doing well, especially during standard business hours." The article says that they are seeing 6-13% peaking during business hours. Around here we see less than 1.5% IE6, but since we see only 10% IE in general, I imagine we're just lucky.

    I am no web designed artiste and I want IE6 dead yesterday.

    Occasionally I need to come up with a web interface for my systems, and commonly enough quickly get to a point where it works for everything in the world that can credibly call itself a browser, but then it "needs" to work in IE6 and doesn't.

    Perhaps explain to your users that the world has moved on without them and to be a part of it, they should use a real browser except for the internal apps that still live in yesterday. Make a 2 browser install standard.
