Internet Explorer 8
Obviously the claims must be true. But cooperates are not yet ready to upgrade thier browsers. Main reason might be the compatibility of the applications with IE6. It needs quite a large funding to fund all the applciations to be upgraded and be consistent with the broswer.

The internet is a lot more advanced now.
So is Internet Explorer 8.
When Internet Explorer 6 was launched in 2001, it offered cutting-edge security – for the time. Since then, cyber crime has evolved and the security features of Internet Explorer 6 have passed their used by date.
With the latest state-of-the-art security features, Internet Explorer 8 is designed to cope with the Internet of today.
In a study by NSS Labs, Internet Explorer 8 caught socially engineered malware 85% of the time compared to Firefox 3’s 29%, Safari 4’s 29% and Chrome’s 17%1.
To keep yourself safe, don’t use an out-of-date browser."

Kaustubh KatdareI doubt whether that's true. Any web page that IE6 can render; can be rendered on IE8 or any other modern browsers. IE6 is buggy and maybe the worst browser that people still use. CE cut down support to IE 6 in March when we upgraded CE Forums in favor of new theme and functionality.
Is there any web application that runs on IE6, but not on IE8? -
durga chNot the application which are used worldwide by common man, but applications which have been developed soley for official purposes. I did use internal applications which don't run on Chrome or for that matter FF, and what else, its only IE6 which is official browser , Chrome needs admin rights to be installed. :-|. The same is the case with OS. Licensing such huge number might take a lot of investment, hence even OS as still WIN XP. We had a brown bag session with CEO, he was questioned about adopting latest technology, he precisely gave the same response.

Kaustubh KatdareWell, I agree that there are applications that run on IE6 but not on FF or Chrome; that is because the technologies that these browsers use are different. The best example of this is Indian Government Websites 😁 . However, different versions of IE 6/7/8 use the same engine (trident, I guess). Its highly impossible that there are apps that run only on IE6 but not on later versions of IE.
I'd be interested in knowing whether there are exceptions to this. -

Agree, Whatever will run on IE 8, should run on IE 6 and 7 as well.The_Big_KWell, I agree that there are applications that run on IE6 but not on FF or Chrome; that is because the technologies that these browsers use are different.

However, many of the website has UI problems in IE 6 and 7 and working fine in IE 8. one such example is CE 😁

Read my comment again. I said, whatever that runs on IE6 should run on IE 7 & 8 because 7 and 8 are newer versions of IE 6. Reverse is not true.crazyboyAgree, Whatever will run on IE 8, should run on IE 6 and 7 as well.

CE runs on all modern browsers that support standards. IE6 has been known to have its own issues. -

I do not know about IE6/IE8 per se, but there are many instances of DOS or Windows 95 games not working well on XP (and onwards) without specialized virtual boxes 😛The_Big_KI'd be interested in knowing whether there are exceptions to this.
Its possible that there are features that are vulnerable security wise that are not supported by new browsers maybe? -
Saandeep SreerambatlaOur application which we are working on at office will work on only IE6 ,but not on any other browsers , we get only Java Script issues which can be fixed easily because most of then will be UI.
