IE6 is pretty much dead. It's IE8 that won't die.
- yuhong 13y agoDo anyone know the percentages of the split between XP/Vista/7 in the IE8 population?
- taspeotis 13y agoHere's what I have from about 6 months of Google Analytics. This is a line-of-business web application. GA is only on the login page. Visits 5,645 % of Total: 4.25% (132,872) XP: 62.37% 7: 35.57% Vista: 1.52% Server 2003: 0.53% That Windows 7 number scares me a bit.
- ams6110 13y agoIE8 is hanging around because MS didn't make anything newer for XP. Which is still hanging around.
- yogo 13y agoVery true, 8 has become the new 6.
- yuhong 13y agoIn fact, I consider the difference between IE 8 and 9 bigger than the difference between IE 6 and 8.
- taspeotis 13y agoAs far as I know, IE9 is the first version of IE that does away with XP support so MS redid a lot of the rendering code to use Direct2D + DirectWrite which opened up hardware accelerated rendering.
