I wonder who still uses IE6 in the age of Google Chrome and Firefox? Must be quite a few, I guess.

Many companies with XP+SP2 often never require or do an upgrade of IE6. Often times only users themselves initiate a move to upgrade or use a different browser themselves. And again some companies may keep users from upgrading period.

Fuck COMPANIES who cares we develop for people what will companies be doing on our sites <_<

You’ll be surprised at the number of users still using IE6. It takes up 5% of my site’s population, which is equivalent to thousand of users.

I had to upgrade everyone at our company to IE8. When I got there everyone was on IE6, but I was there to save the day.

IE6 still has a huge hold in the corporate world. Ancient intranets are expensive to replace and basically require IE6.

I have also noticed this. Thanks to code-monkeys who didn’t know about other browsers when developing applications!

We develop browser based software for big brewing companies and it is astounding how many of them are still on IE6 – the bane of our lives!

Shouldn’t the IE6 pic be LESS attractive than the other? Try illustrating your point about styling without using tragic hipster sheep devoid of style as your analogy.

All: Why not put a statement for users to see, stating that they need to upgrade to a new browser? You don’t have to inhibit use of IE6 outright (not at the moment), just ‘poke’ them to upgrade, hence overriding what their upgrade-anxious IT department might say. Provide links to the most popular browsers.

Doesn’t always work though. Especially on computers where installations can only be done by admins.

Yea Right on! there are about 100 plugins that can do this for you, and even one that will crash IE6 if someone tries to visit your sitye with it.

I know of a BIG insurance company which requires its agents to use Windows XP SP2. If the agent upgrades to SP3 or Vista or Windows 7, the company resets the machines back to Windows XP SP2.

Hope this big insurance company understands MS has completely dropped support for XP SP2. Its amazing how many of these “big” companies are completely aloof to being up to date with their security. In fact ts not amazing is sad and frightening.

That’s pretty dumb. If you aren’t using SP3 you are not supported – period; no MS security patches or anything. You might as well be using Win98.

HI to all
lol on IE6, I am a web developer and I know, IE6 is father of all browsers as if site is well reputed in IE6 then site is good to live.
As a solution for my business I now charge 20% extra to develop for IE6, as you say the Corporates are the only ones using it and they can afford the extra $$$ as they are now the exception not the normal when it comes to website development for IE6. They are used to paying extra to maintain legacy software, which is essentially what we are doing.

Actually, I’m quite grateful for IE6, but I won’t say that I didn’t use to spend a lot of time cursing @ her late night. But she’s not such a beast; if you fox with her enough, you’ll own cross-browser/cross-media.
Which is what it really boils down too: Separation of Behaviors. If you’re doing it right, IE6 is easy to command.
Plus, IE6 got the box-model right.
Whiny Alert: if IE9 comes out next month, thus forcing a fourth version of 1 browser to support, I will commence cursing @ IE again. Until then, keep ‘em separated. son.
