It's important to note that Internet Explorer 8 was the default browser for Windows 7 and won't be considered End of Life (unsupported) until Windows 7 is. In short, it's still supported by Microsoft with security patches. _______________________________________________

errr, IE11 is current available browser on win7, if anyone has ie8, there is one must ask what other updates have they not run (not being a win user I cant tell you if win7 came with ie11 or ie8 that was upgraded to ie11, either way, ie11 clearly is availalbe for win7)

The problem is that a lot of larger companies still run IE8 as they
often have legacy applications that dont work on newer stuff (or the IT
dep. is simply not upgrading as they dont have
money/time/ressources/knownledge).

Its also fact that a lot of employees use the webmail during workhours
from their workplace to check their private mail - if you drop IE8, you
will make them unhappy.

Oh, I was disputing the previous post of win7 and ie8 :)

I think dropping ie8 support is wrong, because as per my other post where I say 35% of the worlds pc's still run XP, and despite MS's efforts, XP isnt going away completely anytime soon. I guess from your comment, that win7 actually does come with only ie8? and if business IT staff are not updating that, again the question remains " what else are they not updating"
