Microsoft will continue to provide baseline support, security patches, and forever
Actually they're going to stop providing IE6/7 support and patches in a little under a year.
- freehunter 13y agoIE6 was released 11 years ago, which is beyond forever for a browser version to be supported. No other vendor that I'm aware of provides support for browsers from that era.
- yuhong 13y agoIE on Windows XP actually. IE follows the support lifecycle of the Windows version it is installed on since IE6 SP1, and IE 5.01 on Win2000 follows the support lifecycle of Win2000 too.
- greghinch 13y agoThe sad problem is, if you want to build a product for large corporates, a lot of folks are still stuck on old XP workstations with the default software installed (IE7 if you're lucky), and likely will be well beyond the MS support window. This is just part of doing business in that sector, but I think we can all agree that having to build for IE6/7 compatibility stifles a lot of innovation.
