Even after support stops, there will possibly be a greater percentage of XP with IE8 users than there have historically been with outdated browsers because older versions of, for example, DreamWeaver, do not run on Vista or 7, and IE9 (and presumably 10) does not run on XP. In this economy the cost of upgrading all software to be compatible with Windows 7 is probably beyond the reach of many businesses. *sigh* NESB ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] 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/
