Picard1727yBeen down that road years ago. with our clients.
Reason‘s simple: they usually have bought (very) expensive software/customizations/intranet apps/plug-ins that cannot run in different browsers, making old IEs a necessity for them. And updates/upgrades of that software are too expensive (or not possible at all)
Also, their IT department has better control via policy settings within their win ecosystem (+ installing other software is usually forbidden for individuals, while making other browsers available would mean a global rollout) -

Both of you have valid points i guess and if you See it this way it makes a little bit more sense. But in most cases i experienced there is no valid reason for using Internet Explorer other than the argument That the companys already using it for over multiple years now. Along with a Windows Server 2003 Installation πππ -
@rEaL-jAsE haha holy shit dudeπ
I guess buying a good Office desktop pc is still cheaper then buying the ipad -
alexsteb1267y@rEaL-jAsE do you happen to vote Conservatives? ;) that was the first time I ever read sth good being written about IE.

Once asked my employer why they still use IE and if they would consider installing a different browser.. Answer: we opted to use the Microsoft-standards throughout our company and can't just change our policies for one person...
Uhm, okay... I don't know how to deal with that much stupidity -
