They are still using IE 6. IE 7 is in a testing environment now. The problem is money. We simply do not have the time, or money to upgrade all the software that has IE 6 integrated. We just have too many programs rightnow that realy on IE 6. It is unfortunate, but if you cant upgrade everything you have live with older software. I work at an engineering firm in Chicago.

What are they running for software? Office 2003 with Internet Explorer 6. Go figure. My boss's PC is an older Dell running Windows 2000 Pro. This isn't a small company either.

Internet Explorer 6? :)OT - I used to work @ a travel agency back in Sydney in 2006/07 that was running a 1997 version copy of Lotus on all systems/offices throughout the company - easily talking over 100 stores here with around 4 to 5 computers per office. Some people/companies like to stick to what they know best - even if it isn't 'best'.

IE7 cannot be installed on Windows 2000. I would venture to say there are still a considerable amount of Windows 2000 installs active. Windows 2000 users have no choice if they want to use IE.
