Will Microsoft ever convince anyone to dump another browser for IE 8?
- rbanffy 17y agoAt least one person I have met stated he ditched his Mac and Safari for a Dell with Windows Vista and IE when Microsoft hired him. I am not saying Microsoft can do it with everyone that doesn't use IE, but it certainly counts as "anyone".
- mrduncan 17y agowhen Microsoft hired him - Interesting, but I'm not sure that will be a very cost effective strategy for Microsoft.
- joechung 17y agoI'm just happy to see IE 6 on its way to oblivion.
- GiraffeNecktie 17y agoNot so fast mister. At my job, IE7 remains a mere glimmer on the horizon. Meanwhile 15k users suffer in silence.
- eli 17y agoYou are not alone. By my data, 1 in 5 gov't employees or contractors is stuck on IE6.
- vyrotek 17y agoI ditched firefox for the new IE a long time ago, but then I installed chrome.
- eli 17y agoIE8 isn't terrible. I'm not planning to switch to it, but if I were already using it (say, I just bought a new Windows PC) I'm not sure I'd bother switching to something else either. And hey, I'll gladly start using Bing if it spits out better results than Google
- rksprst 17y agoI love Outlook Web Access in IE. It doesn't fully work in other browsers. But in IE, it seems faster and has pretty much the same features as the desktop version.
