Well that's good news and bad news... and unfortunately, this isn't my work :) > I just got a new laptop with IE6 installed. I am often prompted to > upgrade to IE7. I haven't yet because I'm using it for a testing > ground for IE6. If this happens to me why isn't it happening to all > IE6 users. Dunno. Maybe they are and they're just not telling you? I haven't noticed that many sites to be honest - and I collect them. Sites that prompt you to upgrade I mean. There's been a sharp upswing of late, pushed in part by The Norwegians - my vague goal was to get IE6 off the radar in the space of a year... ... but I got distracted, and I'm going through a phase at the moment where I don't have to code for it anyway. The general vibe I get is that the bulk of the delay is coming either from corporates who haven't budgeted on the not inconsiderable expense of upgrading, or a million internet cafes in India/Turkey/Brazil etc who run fairly old kit as a matter of economic necessity. The former can be moved along (I think) with telling their users that IE6 is a security risk, and therefore the IT dept isn't doing their job by not upgrading... I was even considering a name-and-shame "service" to hurry this along. The latter is trickier - and far be it from me to tell anyone poorer than me what to do in any case. I was thinking that maybe Opera might be an alternative - being small and fast, but I don't know for sure.
