Seeing you must have lived in the shadows your whole life, go ask a real web developer how complicating it is to program a site for IE. You must love sitting at you desk making sure a website can be rendered all the way back to IE6. Little code ever changes with browsers that use Webkit or Gecko which is why they are easier to develop on. IE is also the most vulnerable to hijacking and spoof plugins. Don't you n00bs know anything? It seems like I'm teaching computers for dummies here so go scurry along and go program on your Dell Dimension with Windows 2000 and leave the web programing to the big boys
If you still support IE below 8, then yes, IE is crap to deal with. But IE8+ have gotten much better, and are really usable nowadays.
Not everyone uses IE8+ though, that's the problem. IE6 is still the most widely used next to IE 8 because of people sticking with Windows XP and not updating their systems. That's the downfall of IE. You always have to go a step backwards.
Yeah, there is no reason to support below IE8. If companies still use XP and IE7 or bellow then it's their own fault for using ancient outdated software. There really is no reason not to upgrade to Windows 7 right now. If the hardware can't take it then that hardware should be replaced anyways since Windows 7 runs great even on Athlon 64 chips.
Upgrading = $$$ spent. Corporations don't want to upgrade to the latest and greatest if what they're using works. There are companies out there that use Windows XP or 2000 with Office XP - 2003. You know why? Because it works.
Yup, a zh-CN, thought you guys wouldn't be interested. This morning my MEGA upload crashed twice around the 70~80% mark, must be heavy traffic. If the PCBeta guy means business, expect a Pro X64, hopefully en-US in few hours.
hopefully while i'm still at work fast unlimited internet so with frankenbuild you mean sb tried to join chinese windows with english language files or what?
Oh hey FaiKee Is that Pro X64 9483 again? I find that build rather interesting, it is exactly like RTM but no new wallpapers, it also doesnt have any timebomb
IE6 has about ~6% market share which is barely worth considering. IE8 has ~23%, IE9 has ~10%, and IE10 has ~15%.
