Browser market share in business

Client CO still on IE6 - major pain. No plans to change as roll out process for IE8 is taking a very long time (regression test / fix existing apps).

By the time they roll out IE8 working websites/apps they wil need to be on IE10, which won't be all feature compatible with IE8.

Yes, but IE9/10 require Vista/W7/W8 and many businesses are even slower upgrading from XP than IE6... with far better reason.

I am on IE6 just now and I am sure it will still be here in 5 years time.

You are right. The XP thing is a big factor. What I am also seeing crop up are regular queries from IE9 users to which the answer is "Switch on compatibility mode".

MS have got themselves in a bit of a pickle here, reap what you sow and all that.
