Do these corporations not have security issues with these old browsers?

  You're assuming corporations take security seriously.
• singold 13y ago
  Yes they have. I work on one of those (I'm the webmaster), they didn't wanted to get me firefox or chrome, because of 'security issues'...

  The newer browsers actually come with a lot of feature-induced security problems too. Microsoft continues to release security updates for IE7 so it might be better to use than a newer version of IE that could have HTML5 exploits.

    That support ends on April 8 of this year: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/endofsupport.aspx http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enterprise/endofsuppo...

      On WinXP. You can run it on Server 2008 and receive security updates until 2020.

        Interesting, but who's running Server 2008 as a corporate desktop OS?
        • taspeotis 13y ago
          Probably no-one. I can think of a bunch of people who run it as a Terminal Server though.

          Everybody with a Terminal Server installation from 2008. It's actually surprisingly common :/

    IE8 and older also have things like HTML+TIME which is used in at least one real world exploit, to name just one thing.
