I think the real reason IE6 persists is b/c windows 2000 persists and IE6 is the newest version of IE that can be installed on Win2K. Firefox no longer supports Win2K and Chrome has never supported it.
- r00fus 14y agoI've heard that XP is widely deployed, but in what world does a business persist in keeping Win2K deployed? Wifi support is weak, and USB support was still shaky. I doubt Win2K is the reason. It's more likely IIS-specific ActiveX-infested enterprise code that requires IE6... Microsoft (and their partners) have a rather sizeable consulting presence that has in the past 15 years pushed out a lot of MS-specific web solutions.
