British "government" departmental proposals to upgrade from IE6.

And you guys thought that I was bullshitting when I told you about the amount of obsolete software used over here.

To save you Googling........... if you are stuck on IE6, you must almost certainly be running Windows 2000 :eek:

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Find access to their networks, one can have a ball browsing admin shares on Windows 2000. Don't call microsoft for those problems....they hang up on you :0

Can you give some examples of the problems, I am intrigued?

Also:

1. Doesn't the same apply to XP (Pro of course :D)?

2. Is this when you have an extended support contract with MS? I know that Win 2000 is approaching EOL so won't have the regular support, but I thought you could still get extended support if you paid?

XP has IE6 as standard.

Indeed! however, I did use the word "stuck", as in: "cannot move from". That would only apply to Windows 2000.

In XP, the transition to IE7 or IE8 is pretty seamless.

:)

I dunno.. I still have IE6 on a few of my XP boxes... I never use it :D

I do have IE8 on my work laptop though.. Never did like IE7 so I'm probably going to skip that one on my own machines.
