Funny when the manufacturer itself is campaigning to get rid of its own product.

Despite security fears, people are reluctant to upgrade their browsers…

Last month, Microsoft launched a campaign urging the remaining 20 per cent of internet users still clinging to Internet Explorer 6 to upgrade to a newer version.

According to Microsoft: “IE6 is a nine-year-old web browser and doesn’t sufficiently protect users from the latest security threats. Microsoft is urging customers to upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer so that they are not leaving themselves vulnerable.”

Ironically, Microsoft is so adamant that users replace IE6 that it is even recommending they upgrade to competitors’ browsers, too. With many newer web browsers freely available, why don’t people using IE6 want to upgrade?
