Unfortunately in parallel, they could not get enough people to submit sites that needed compatibility mode, so to prevent massive help desk problems they decided to push USE COMPATIBILITY MODE FOR ALL SITES. This basically downgraded everyone to IE7 mode permanently. So much for progress...

We run a SAAS app. We recently saw IE4 in our logs. Not a single one of our customers has upgraded past IE8. IE6 is alive and well in many large companies.
Consider the possibility that someone was playing with old browsers.

I joined a new project where IE 8 is the lowest required supported browser.
We have to support IE7 on some of our software, only dropping IE6 a year ago or so ... Other software minimum requirements is IE8, hoping to drop it by the end of this year.

#27The zombie certainly still continues to live on shitton of computers across the globe running unauthorized copies of Windows XP for customers who couldn't care less about official support from Microsoft as they never had it in the first place. Yeah, unfortunately.

#29It would be better if IE, period, was dead. Otherwise we're just switching one terribly obsolete IE for another terribly obsolete IE.
Re: IE6 is dead
#30Great, now we just need to kill IE7... and 8, 9, 10, 11, ad infinitum. :-)
