The misleading implication with this news from MS is that users who have been inexplicably stuck on IE6 will all be moved forward by this. The sad fact is a lot of IE6 is intentional lock in. Here in the UK almost all government employees have it as their only browser — and that's a matter of government policy (it would cost them too much to upgrade all their custom internal systems to work with new software). Many large corporates (equally significant employers — and a lot of people do all of their browsing on work machines) have similar setups.
My point being that while this new policy will see users of IE7, 8 and 9 that would otherwise have stuck with their browser upgrade, the IE6 demographic is mostly stuck for other reasons. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
