Interesting. Here's another one, with similar results. I haven't checked the stats in a while, and should have. I talked with somebody else this morning stuck with IE6, and there too it was a matter of corporate policy. I think that while consumers may be unable to resist the constant battering of Microsoft's demand to upgrade, IT departments are paid in part to maintain iron control over the applications deployed in the business.

At the risk of repeating myself, "damn". Microsoft makes it impossible to keep around old versions of IE for testing, and so you need to have the different versions running on separate computers. When I work with big corporations I have a large QA department backing me up, and they maintain laboratories full of old computers and old browsers for just this purpose. What's a freelancer to do?
