		_sfvd on Jan 4, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: IE6 Usage Falls to Under 1% in U.S. Is it true that IE6 has survived this long mostly due to a few 'go to' proprietary web based apps dependent on IE6 in the medical field? I've heard a few programmers repeat this. Curious if this is just misinformation being repeated. Anybody have knowledge on this?

The State of Michigan is just now upgrading off of IE6. Maybe we were the difference!

If so, every programmer in america owes you a thank you basket... full of cash they saved from coding IE6 compatible code.
