The only way many of the laggards are going to upgrade is if their favorite sites stop working. I think soon it will become too expensive to hack n' test for four versions of IE, and companies will start dropping support for IE 6.
- dagw 17y agoMost IE6 laggards are large companies with sprawling IT bureaucracy (I did some work at one up until a couple of month ago). And their favourite sites where the internal project and time tracking web sites. As long as those work they'll see no reason to upgrade from IE6 and they'll never make any changes to those sites that will break IE6. They really don't care too much whether the rest of the internet works or not.
