... so even those that have upgraded to IE8 got a patch.

I would upgrade to IE 9 if I could. Bill Gates does not want that however. I would like to upgrade to a newer OS as well, but Microsoft includes spyware in there newer versions of Windows so I am not able to do that either.

Always properly deconstruct your objects!

Nor is "stuck" an excuse. You put yourself into the M$ strait-jacket and didn't protest when the arms were tied behind your back. Now you're too lazy to walk out even though the door to Linux is open.

I sympathize that you guys in IT are victims of idiots both above and below, but you need to direct your remarks to those idiots, and the ones at M$.

Ignorant or lazy... great way to get more readers.

Please see the raft of recent articles in far more reputable publications and blogs stating that most of the IE 6 usage left on the net being forced by corporate IT policies on business machines. IE6 was "it" for a reliable corporate standard long enough that a ton of cutom app programming was written for it. Until there is a compelling economic reason to go back and rewrite an expensive batch of core code (in a time where expensive projects just don't fly), then we will just have to live with it- and with the snarky comments from the peanut gallery

That's where many of us are. We're not "ignorant or lazy... or snarky and falsely superior, we're just stuck.

Hey Asavin Wattanajantra, SCREW YOU!!!!!! I don't run IE8 because i am ignorant or lazy. I don't run it for the same reason Bob mentioned in a previous post, compatibility problems. Just because Microsoft releases a new version and says it is better doesn't mean it is. Only and Ignorant or Lazy person would make a snap judgment before considering the fact that there are legitimate reasons not to run something.

I still use IE7 due to site compatability problems that still exist with IE8 even though there is a compatability button - it still has isues. This is my preference and I am not ignorant or lazy (Thanks for the snap judgement by the way!)Hopefully IE9 adresses this problem when it comes out and I'll install it. Until then, IE7 works just fine for me.
