You make many good points. I can't really argue with them. However,
what i've been seeing is that many devs are tired of jumping through
the hoops to deliver IE6-7 a similar experience as FF or Safari, and

currently do not, and most
at what point will even microsoft get tired of the stench and
encourage ppl to drop IE 6 and move on to a later browser?
I know they'd love to control the web, but they don't and the bad
reputation from always being the problem browser company must be
getting old by now.

A good point. I have started tracking IE6 users down on an individual

It's not dinasaur developers. It's systems that were never intended to
have the lifespan they have. The web was a very different place a
decade ago. See I remember 25 years ago. You'd have hated that.

Here are some stats I collected from a collection of large, high-traffic
Australian sports/news websites I am involved with:
IE8: 45%
IE7: 30%
IE6: 10%
Firefox 3.x: 9%
Everything else: 6%
This is off the top of my head, but IE6 definitely accounts for 10-11% (and
is higher than FF3). These stats
Thanks everyone for these interesting stats - depressing as they are.
Lucien - I assume it's not a typo when you say your IT department is now
rolling out IE7. I'm curious to know the rationale behind that cf. going
straight to IE8. If they're doing all the testing to ensure that IE7 is

Hi Phil,
Sadly, no, it's not a typo. For some reason, known only to our IT
department, they got locked into a vendor contract on some mission critical
software where the vendor has only recently certified IE7 compatibility. The
vendor *has not* certified their product with IE8, so we can't move
Can you not swing IE8 in compatibility mode? That'll have no issues
with activeX.
Out of interest why won't your IT deparment say use this browser fir
internal apps and the new FF or whatever for other browsing. Putting a
shortcut to the internal app URL on the desktop would make it easy
For what it's worth, some of our non-techie sites (with much smaller
user numbers, as they're focused on the relatively tiny New Zealand
market) are showing a slightly rosier picture over the past month:
Advocacy website for cyclists (4544 visits):
IE: 41.57% (IE6-15.09% 7-37.96% 8-46.96%)
Again, interesting, stuff, Dave.
Concerning your remark:
If I was Microsoft I'd be quite worried that the IT support pros,
influencers and developers have such a different make-up than the
mainstream.
I believe they are indeed concerned about this. AIUI they're a little
