IE is dead.

Ive never liked IE for a simple reason.
It randomly freezes on my Windows Vista PC.

 

IE is not yet dead yet,but future is not bright either.

 

I haven't using IE for awhile now, Due to bad reputation regarding "IE giving my computer viruses" and all sort of things, So that the reson why i quit using IE. It need to improved more security and enhance more feature to it.

 

Have you tried the 64-bit version of it on a windows 7 quad core(and up) machine. I think its fastest of all the browsers out there. The only issue I am facing that many of the toolbars and add on are yet not developed for 64 bit browsers. I am waiting for the Firefox 64-bit version but as of now my no.1 browser is IE when it comes to speed but I need the tools also so usually use Firefox like now but my word on it is IE don't suck its has gotten way better from its previous predecessors.

Edit: Nice professional looking site you got there. And from a website point of view, I think you should develop a site compatible for all browsers and specially now for IE as its 64-bit version is super fast and majority general/new users with a new machine will choose that for browsing.

 

Didn't IE 9 just get released? Anyways, there's still too many IE users to abandon it completely

 

IE is not dead. Check your codings for malfuntions.

 

IE has lost it;s popularity, now most of the people use chrome or mozilla.

 

If you are a site owner then Look into your Analytics. Then you will know which browser is most popular.

 

Not yet dead, but dying slowly. But you have to remember that most of the people who are not very tech friendly still use IE.

 

It's not dead at the moment but there's times to come, where it may just drop.

 

IE works fine for me

 

IE users are the best users, they are 65% more likely to click adspace. I mean hell who users IE these days?

 

If IE is not dead now, it will soon be.

 

I absolutely agree with you.

 

If I took this approach I would exclude 59% of my visitors as they use IE, that figure is taken from my awstats of one of my sites.

That said I tend to target the general public in niches like golf, fishing, sports etc. If my site targeted web designers that percentage is very likely to be a lot lower.

I guess this goes back to the age old question "Who is your target audience?" If they are typically the kind of person to wander into the local supermarket and buy an off the peg laptop running Windozs 7 and IE then make your site work for that audience.

IE is not yet dead and I don't believe will be for some time. Also I can't see MS allowing the reducing footprint percentage to continue, they have the means to change this trend the question is will they focus on this by spending the time, effort and money needed to turn things around.

 

Thanks to everyone for your feedback on this!!!!!!

We're currently looking into what works on IE9. So far, the percentage of people clicking to our site using IE is relatively low <5%. That's from a sampling of about 10,000 unique visits. That may change when we start to do some international marketing so we'll just keep an eye on it and keep working on getting the site fully operational on all browsers.

 

Don't forget it was IE which populated Internet use.

And prediction always results out with failure.

 

i don't use IE after i used google,i don't use google after i used firefox
