We're on IE7, and XP sp3 (though some have moved to win7). Large bank with 250,000+ employees.
Is it Citibank? I went in to open a business account the other day, they wanted to take a look at the business website, and it looked like complete crap. Took a look and it was IE7. It was like stepping into a time machine...

Not Citibank. I have had an account at Citibank for over 20 years, and they've never, ever, made a single mistake. Highly recommended. I work for one of their bigger competitors.

Actually, you'll find that while a single anecdote doesn't provide evidence for a general theory, it does provide enough of a counter-example to disprove a statement. How can it be the case that nobody uses old IE by choice, if at least one person does?
The 'nobody' in the title is used figuratively for emphasis. The point of the link is to raise the issue for discussion, not to provide scientific proof that no one uses older versions of IE by choice.
IE 8 is the last version to support Windows XP See, browsers have become so important that they now support the OS, not the other way around.
Dear Microsoft: I'd love to hear that cosmic resonating pop of you pulling your head out of your ass.
I recognize that the latest version of IE finally has auto-update. It taking Microsoft this long to do what Firefox and Chrome have been doing for years doesn't do anything more than certify that Microsoft Actively makes my job 50% more difficult on a daily basis.
The words "older", "versions" and "of" are superfluous.
I don't understand when geeks insult other people who like Microsoft Windows or IE. I get it if you don't like the browser, I get it if you HATE the browser, but to actually insult the users of that browser is just ignorant.
If it was just a case of sites looking "less beautiful" in IE, that would be fine too, except that IE often breaks websites by not supporting certain CSS properties or Javascript functions.
The amount of work that goes into IE-proofing websites (which could've gone into more productive things) is huge. It's not just "hipsterism", a lot of these people are angry for a reason.
