IE has over 90% of the browser market in China. Seems like many are slow to upgrade XP era machines over there.
That is only because it has become much harder to steal MS operating systems since the introduction of Vista.
Isn't IE6 the last version of Internet Explorer you can have on pirated Windows?

Boo ya, my work is still stick on IE6 cause they have so many in-house online programs. Glad they let us install firefox.
Sorely mistaken.
Yeah you can change it to be exactly like 3.6...
im pretty sure the people complaining about how FF4 looks are not bitching about icon color, they dislike how they rearranged everything to look like chrome
I want my damn status bar back. I don't mind the other stuff.
As a web developer / programmer, I applaud them. You guys have no idea how utterly annoying it is to code a website with several goals and technological advances in mind, only to find out that some part of it doesn't work in IE 7, or FF 2, or something like that, and that browser still represents a decent chunk of the market.
It wouldn't be a big deal if it was only minor stuff, but I've had numerous cases where all browsers worked fine, except for IE 6 or IE 7, which parses CSS or Javascript differently from everyone else. That isn't to say that IE is the only offender, but it's generally the most problematic in my experiences.
After a period of going out of our minds trying to please everyone (compatibility vs. features), we officially dropped support for IE 6 and FF 1 about a year or two ago, and adopted an "update your browser for crying out loud" stance. I'm thinking we'll probably follow suit with IE 7 and FF 2 by the end of the year.
Amen. I've worked on a couple of projects where everything looks fine in Safari/Firefox/Chrome and looks like complete ass in IE. It's extremely annoying to have to code for the shitty, outdated versions of IE.
Whats the big deal??
