It's not dinasaur developers. It's systems that were never intended to
have the lifespan they have. The web was a very different place a

That's an industry education project in itself.
indeed it is and Microsoft was forced to inform windows users of the
choice of browsers a little while ago
BBC Click reported that one XP user worried that this was the result
of malware installed on his machine.
Often users ignore system messages anyway
there are a few things at play here with these ie dinosaurs
The industry is still quite young and its users are not that
knowledgeable of choices and whats to be gained
Humans are reluctant to make changes even when the offer is free of
charge - humans fear change; change requires effort on behalf of the
user
'we have dedicated systems that reply on IE6'
surely rely upon dinosaur users exist in dinosaur environments -
these systems are created by retro thinking developers who still
despite all the evidence to contrary think that IE browsers have
the jump on other browsers or feel it more important for the system
to be consistently abysmal across browsers rather than acceptable
in IE6/7 and better in ie8 and vastly better in everything else.
Ninja squads need to invade the premisses of ie6 users and install
something better!
using ie should be considered a health & safety issue
