It's just not smart to replace a system that only works well in IE 6 because it might mess up your employees' ability to waste their time on some guy's random startup.

There are perfectly legitimate reasons why a corporation would continue to use IE6, despite its countless flaws.

In my experience, those systems are in dire need of replacement, anyway.

Security is the killer flaw, though. They're going to have to change once MS stops patching it - and who knows what 0 day (or -300 day) flaws lurk in IE6.

I hope you never have to understand the perverse inner workings of the corporate IT manager's mind. :'(

So the 'perfectly legitimate reasons' are all because of 'perverse inner workings' of some manager's mind?
