  Microsoft Users Refusing To Give Up XP

By Branko Miletic | Thursday | 03/04/2008

Microsoft is having problems with companies refusing to give up Internet Explorer 6 and Windows XP for IE7 and Vista, according to a survey by Forrester.

Forrester, which conducted the survey last year of more than 50,000 users, said that only 30 per cent of corporate Internet Explorer users had switched to IE7 by year's end.

Microsoft released IE7 in October 2006 and started pushing it to users via Automatic Updates in early December of 2007.

The company unveiled IE8 Beta 1 earlier this month, calling the build suitable for developers but making it available to anyone via download.

The story is much the same for Windows XP and Windows Vista, Forrester's numbers showed, although Microsoft had even less success in weaning enterprise users from the older operating system than it did getting them to update their browsers.
