This looks great but it seems they have no plans to support Internet Explorer ( https://togetherjs.com/docs/#browser-support ). That's a shame because most of our users who need this level of support all use IE :/

Who cares. It's IE which needs to catch up to the standards Mozilla and Google are implementing. It's not like Windows users will be left out in the dark, they can always install Firefox. Tell your users to use a real browser, or write a letter to Microsoft telling them to get with the times... Even the University I attend doesn't support IE with their web-apps. They support Firefox...

lol yeah telling our clients to use a real browser is totally going to be good for future business with them..

> Tell your users to use a real browser

Suddenly I have the impression I'm on Slashdot in the early 2000's.

Too bad it doesn't support IE10. I was already brainstorming how to implement but will have to wait for something else...

That isn't entirely true. The audio chat won't work in IE10, and IE10 support isn't a priority, but most everything else will probably work: https://togetherjs.com/docs/#browser-support

Edit: Ok, looking at the issues tracker, it looks like the current IE bugs basically break togetherjs on IE10. As such, hopefully this issue gets some attention: https://github.com/mozilla/togetherjs/issues/812

What would you tell someone using Windows 95 who's complaining that your app won't run?

You can check out GoInstant as well, which supports IE 8+ http://goinstant.com

Depends how much they're paying me, and when they started paying me that to maintain that app

That would depend on how much money they will pay me.

Your clients might appreciate advice on how to use technology better?
