Their campaign is so bad though! Have you seen the page that occasionally pops up when you launch IE 6? It doesn't even explicitly say that you are using an older browser and should upgrade now.

I wrote about this but my screenshots didn't get transfered over from the old server. (will have to do something about that!)

consider that IE7 is integrated into the Vista OS

in order to run IE6 I had to install a virtual PC with an image of XP running IE6...

So people buying PCs now will be unlikely to be using IE6 unless they got a hold of an XP PC with it...

Heaps of people are buying "bargin" PC's, so bargin that they don't have the 2.5 grunt to run vista so also receive the downgrade XP install. Service pack 3 is out (with the bugs) 66.9-316.4mb, IE7 is a 14.7mb download

there is firefox 3? I'm still running 2.0.0.15
there is nearly a gig of windows updates (security patches ...) and now another version of FF, no wonder laptops are struggling.

Our school just recently bought new computers with and they "upgraded" them to XP. So they all run IE 6 unless an administer logs in to them, then they upgrade themselves to IE 7. Some have firefox but it is version 1.x and students can't upgrade that either. There is no netscape or opera. So IE6 is all we have for an "up to date" browser on windows 98 we have IE5 even. I have even had to test our class website in IE5 for compatibility. :(

Gosh, that sucks! And if they don't have the IE7 upgrade then they don't have all the security upgrades either. Dangerous.
