| 1142387 | 2010-10-07 06:35:00 | At work I have to go to the net via Terminal Server and it has IE6. Ick. PressF1 is horrible - all those ads and I can't open TABS either. Makes you really appreciate the home comforts on your own PC. And no, can't alter the arrangement there. |

You could download Firefox portable? |

One of our clients is stuck on IE6 due to compatibility issues with legacy webapps - so they won't be upgrading from IE6 until those apps are decommissioned or replaced . |

I assume they are running IE6 because their vendor has told them that their PAS is designed for IE6, however I found no issues running IE7 in a hospital environment with the PAS the hospital I was working in were running - the Java version was more critical. |

One of our clients is stuck on IE6 due to compatibility issues with legacy webapps - so they won't be upgrading from IE6 until those apps are decommissioned or replaced . Very true - I have a SaaS app that doesn't run on IE8, but does on IE7 (like a dog, but it does run) . But I still wouldn't expose my other users with a deprecated browser, so I put them on older PC's running Chrome (SaaS app is very JavaScript-y) . I guess it's the old trade-off between security and usability . . . . |

| 1142395 | 2010-10-07 08:13:00 | IE6?! If I had to use that every day I'd shoot myself. I'm pretty sure that MS stopped updating that a while back... |

| 1142396 | 2010-10-07 08:32:00 | Our school does something horrible along those lines, homepage is set to the schools site, nice advertising but we know where it what it is, really frustrating waiting for it to load only to move over to google, no tabs (they are disabled) instead its a nice new window . FF is installed but only admins can access . It really is a joke |
