Well, W3C say IE6 is down to 26.5%.
Dropping a percent a month.http://www.w3schools.com/browser…
Can someone create a logo or something we can all attach to the bottom of our emails to get these little fucks back with the program and make an entire industry happy. I would do a free e-marketing campaign for Microsoft too!
Shiiiiiit, I would do a leaflet drop round the whole country!!

Everyone needs to put an IE6-only redirect to http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/0…

problem is that behind corporate firewalls and obstructive IT departments upgrading your browser is not always YOUR option. I think that explains the high percentage of users. I use IE6 because my clients use it and their sites need to work in it. Until their IT department upgrades we're stuck making things work for it.

I agree they should be upgrading but I guess if you've got the basic XP install and you controll the updates then changing an application like IE is not going to happen. I think IT departments like to lock all non essential (in their eyes) upgrades out. So basically, XP with IE6 working - leave it and don't risk upgrading unless you really have to.
In a big corporation this can actually make sense. Everyone on the same thing - with little or no ability to customize or change the settings.
But I agree it's very short sighted.

Its backward IT admins that are the biggest problem, home users should drop quickly now because luckily Windows becomes so fucking shit after about 2 years of home use that most people upgrade machines anyway.
Its all down to incompetent admins and their shitty intranets coded by fucking morons that they foolishly invested in
