Those Enterprise intranet apps are very often dependent on IE6 bugs. Yes, some admins are also concerned about ease of SMS or WUS deployment, or central control over preferences such as proxy settings and the home page, but bug-compatibility with MSIE6 is probably more important and certainly (much) harder to implement.
I think the cheapest way to run an IE6 application will be to keep using IE6, for as long as Microsoft is willing to collect the license revenue on WinXP or whatever.
- thwarted 18y agoI can't believe there are still people (not necessarily you, arebop) who think pushing _proxy settings_ to clients is somehow good from a security standpoint. If you really want to control or log what people are doing through your network, you have to FORCE them to go through a proxy, and the only way to do that is with a firewall and with a transparent proxy, not by putting configuration on a piece of hardware that someone else, the user, has physical access to and uses day in and day out.
