TL;DR => Most users in large enterprises cannot get rid of IE6 even if they want to.
I working for a large company (100,000+ employees) in the US and we are stuck with IE6. We cannot uninstall or upgrade it without admin rights, which 99% of employees do not have.
A small minority of tech-savvy employees use Chrome or Firefox, but this is heavily frowned upon. Once when my hard disk crashed, our internal tech support team tried to blame the fact that I use Firefox instead of IE6 as the reason.
- drivingmenuts 16y agoThen your company needs to fire their tech team en masse and hire some up-to-date techies.
- eitally 16y agoYou'd be shocked at how much very expensive enterprise software has never been updated to support anything newer than IE6. It's not that enterprises don't want to upgrade their users, but that their hands are largely tied (hooray for Chrome Frame!).
- armandososa 16y agoEverytime somebody says this is a good enough reason to support IE6 my only thought is "screw enterprise users".
- eli 16y agoWhich works great, unless they're part of your target market. Is the cost of supporting IE6 worth hanging on to those impressions/sales? That's a call you've got to make on a case-by-case basis.
