We polled our very distributed employee base to see what people are using. The stats were interesting (though not really surprising to me.)
Win 95 18% Win 98 33% Win ME 1% Win NT 21% Win 2K 23% Win XP 4% CD Writer 31% DVD drive 16% Web browser: None 2% IE 4 2% IE 5 59% IE 6 31% NS 4 5% NS 6 1% These are for 531 reporting Windows computers. I work at a University Extension. We have offices at the State level as well as in 72 counties. Many counties have virtually no budget for computers and have to cling to what they have for years. With that said, our sites are made to be compatible with Netscape 4. We aren't always pretty, but we almost always work. Of course, we are targeting a broad public who are often not tech-savvy. Low income families, small farms, etc. If our target market of customers were people who were higher income or tech oriented, then we would have more leeway to drop older browsers and do nifty new stuff. Also, when we are doing web application development we put on slightly different hats than web information. Applications have platform requirements. Information doesn't. -- Kevin Graeme ______________________________________________________________________ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
