They're people who work in firms that have intranet applications that were written specifically for IE6. Its cheaper to keep the browser than update some very badly written software.
- drusenko 17y agoSorry, that's not an excuse. IE 8 comes with a "compatibility mode" feature where any site can choose to use the IE 6 rendering engine by setting headers or meta tags appropriately.
- jmtulloss 17y agoThat was an excuse until fairly recently. IE8 is pretty new to the scene, and hopefully this feature will allow corporations to upgrade.
- jodrellblank 17y agoSorry, that's not an excuse I wasn't aware that companies needed an 'excuse' for not putting time and effort into a project they don't care about.
- drusenko 17y agoThey don't -- we're trying to give them a reason to care.
- dmm 17y agoThat feature was taken out of IE8 before release.
