Right, like I noted elsewhere some industries have higher IE traffic, proportionally speaking
- not2b 5y agoIt used to be that many companies were stuck with IE because they bought complex products that only support IE (and an older version of IE at that) to manage their business with. Fortunately a lot of the worst of that stuff has gone away. But it's still out there (though in many cases the employees use IE only to talk to BogusLegacyProduct and use Chrome for everything else).
- shakna 5y agoAs an example, a school website I run support for on and off, and have done so for a number of years, still receives 18% of its traffic from IE8.
- asddubs 5y agoa bunch of school computers running XP? Or maybe the principal still runs xp and only 4 other people visit the site
- shakna 5y agoNo, in point of fact most of those 18% are parents at home running Windows XP. The entire school runs on Windows 10, as the cursing from the server room will tell you on a regular basis. And the school site has quite an active userbase - students upload assignments via it, parents can live-view all gradings and remarks (and regularly use it), and staff generally access their email via it instead of a client.
- asddubs 5y agointeresting, i guess it must be people who almost don't have an internet presence at all beyond school. since in ie8, nothing works at this point (i imagine their kids might have their own computers). hell, a huge swath of https sites just flat out won't work in XP as i understand (e.g. anything with a let's encrypt certificate)
