Well it sort of depends who has the cash -- who really cares about the 60%
if they have no money or aren't going to spend it on your product.

What I'm wondering is if IE9 is a great browser, will it boost Microsoft's
market share? Or was IE's earlier market share an untenable anomaly anyway,
which is now sinking to a more reasonable level?

I think it will highly depend on the success of Windows 7. The same
effect that happened with IE6 might happen with IE8 in a corporate
environment: it might be deemed good enough so there will be no business
case for installing anything else. Consumers will probably be pushed
ahead to IE9 by
People who are capable of updating their own windows across major
releases and more than capable of installing their own browser :)

They wouldn't update their Windows either unless they have to. Chances
are something will break, and I think every organization I deal with has
some program testing what exactly breaks, probably since Vista came out.
I suspect the IE6-8 upgrade is probably even used as an argument for

Laying this at the feet of other developers is a bit too harsh. Most
developers I know would rather use the best tools there are. They don't have
the freedom to choose as that rests with others. I would put the blame
squarely on management as they are the decision makers. I have had to do

Maybe with Win 7 and IE9's option to not run on XP we may finally see
companies moving forward technology wise. I see companies that still
have XP and IE6 as their main desktop. They are more focused on doing
whatever business they are doing then worrying about their
technological infrastructure,
I rather doubt that, though.
If you look at the Business 2 Business world, yes, IE6 support remains
a virtual invariant request.
However, in the B2C world, IE6 is being abandoned _IN DROVES_. In the
end it's pure business after all: You've got your IE6 user, you've got
your IE-upgrading user
Oh I don't think we should wait on those XP/IE6 companies as a
developer. But as a business its subjective. Cutting out 10% of your
clients isn't so bad, cutting out 60% is another matter.

I think for some context this is right. We have started reducing IE6
support in our public facing applications (i.e. we ensure you get
everywhere, but don't bother too much with getting the looks right). We
have even added IE6 warnings on some of the more JavaScript heavy sites

Consider that most browsers are moving towards a automatic background
upgrade scenario. Chrome has used this to achieve 90% movement of
its users to newer versions of its browser. FireFox already has a
pretty good user population that upgrades manually, ditto for Safari.
However given Chrome's
given IE is used heavily in corporate IT deparments (most of the hold

off auto update to be under Mordac the Preventers (ITs) control. Ie
they will never update it as IT departments hate talking to people

HTML5 is an even worse term than AJAX; it doesn't really mean what
you'd think, instead it's a somewhat nebulous grab-bag of a term that
generally means different things to different people.
HTML5 itself is an attempt to standardize features that lack spec but
that have nevertheless been

We're here because most developers choose to use IE6 as their

Not surprisingly, browser compatability on their web apps is not
