The prophesied Windows XP and IE 8 crisis is nigh (unless you’re in China)
- badman_ting 13y agoSupporting IE 9-11 is enough of a hassle as it is. I'm tired of hearing about how this is user-hostile or whatever. Get another browser and if you can't get another browser then that is the problem.
- nikatwork 13y agoA word of warning to you edgy startup younguns: if you care a whit about the corporate/enterprise market, you will continue to support old IE versions for at least a couple more years. It feels good to say "just upgrade dumbass", but in enterprise land this is a very slow and expensive process. I am personally jubilant about XP support being killed off, but don't delude yourself into thinking this means old IE versions will magically disappear overnight.
- yuhong 13y agoYea, I think Win7 shipped with IE8, and all IE versions since IE6 SP1 share the Windows version's support lifecycle.
