IE6 is still very prevalent in the American school system (don't know about elsewhere). We used to sell a web product to schools and you wouldn't believe the number of districts using IE6 for "compatibility" with their network software or because they don't consider upgrading a priority.

- krakensden 17y agoWhile that's true, it's beside the point. All the public schools I've been to do not have an `IT Department', the computers there were just installed in a fire-and-forget manner. Often the school district has some people who are supposed to be in charge of it, but they don't come around very often, and honestly don't have the time, money, or manpower to set up something sane.
