OK, that being said, I’ve upgraded to IE8 at home. Work still uses IE6, no choice there.
I don’t find my lack of control over things in IE8 “better” than IE6. I want my tools in certain places for my ideal ergonomics; I can’t do that in IE8
But, I admit a certain fondness for DOS, so maybe I’m the wrong guy to rant about it. I promise to be a good little sheep and do whatever they tell me to.
Quoted for truth. my dad is one of the people in that position, except his dilapidated version of IR6 doesn’t even allow AJAX calls.
My company just started upgrading from IE 6 to IE 7 because (paraphrased) “the security risks started to outweigh the compatibility issues with existing applications”.
From the perspective of a person who makes those applications, based purely on how many problems IE8 has caused for us, I can say that early upgrades are almost as bad as late upgrades.
