Same as above, ie 6 at work due to compatibility concerns and lack of resources to test all applications.
At home I have the major 4 installed and rotate all of them (ie8, ff 3.0, chrome, safari 4).
I asked IT about a new browser and they said we probably won't see anything other than 6 until we upgrade to Vista or 7 which may still be 2 years away.
On the one hand, I can't even imagine how huge a challenge it must be to manage a company's PCs, especially in today's global workplace; heck, I used to work for a company with nearly 30,000 employees!
On the other hand, there are times when the lockdown can be VERY frustrating, even for something as "simple" as a browser. I had recently organized numerous focus groups around the world, costing tens of thousands of dollars, only to find out at the last minute that the Webcast system being used wasn't compatible with our corporate browsers and that our Chief Marketing Officer couldn't observe them live as planned.
Why does it seem like the technology-focused companies are often the very LAST to upgrade to new browsers, OSs, etc?
At work I use WinXP and I am supposed to use IE 6. But... I was able to install FF and Chrome one day when they unlocked all the restrictions. I also use Chrome at work but usually FF. At home I've been using the new Ubuntu Jaunty beta which comes with FF. Love it!
6, 7, or 8??? I work for the US Fed Gov. If a number is under a trillion, it does not get our attention.
While FDCC recommends IE7 for Federal Government computers, large swaths of the Federal Government are still using IE6. In my agency there are still around 100,000 computers running IE6. I expect IE7 will be rolled out. Someday. Not soon.
IE6 isn't the worst of it
