<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">I suppose if you use something like this as an indicator
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp" target="_blank">http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp</a> then we see that last month <5% of visitors to w3schools used IE6-8</span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;"> </span></p>
<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">But if you look at something like this (last year admittedly

http://royal.pingdom.com/2012/04/23/current-status-of-the-browser-wars/</a>), then in Asia we have 23% still using IE6-8. Not an insignificant market by any means…</span></p>

<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D;">There’s lots of cool stuff out there but we’re almost getting to the reverse of what happened 5-6 years ago with Chrome now being the leader… back then Microsoft added all this proprietary stuff that developers
loved and then developers used it and to this day we have web apps that only work fully in IE… there are about 4 systems currently in use at GCU where IE is the only browser that you can get 100% functionality on and 1 app that I can no longer actually use
as it doesn’t work in IE9 and above (only IE6-8)…</span></p>
