Crufty apps force IE, Firefox into uneasy coexistence.
Source -Slightly more than 80 percent of enterprise PCs run Internet Explorer during the workday, according to Devil Mountain Software's community-based Exo.performance.network (Xpnet). The service makes weekly snapshots of a wide range of system and application usage data from 21,000+ Windows PCs and servers that voluntarily run the company's metrics utility.
"The idea that IE will go away is farfetched," Craig Barth, the CTO at Devil Mountain, told IDG News Service. "People who say those kinds of things simply don't have a grasp on the internal organization of enterprises, or the bureaucracy of companies. Until enterprises flush out the internal applications that rely on IE, that use unsupported and undocumented layout commands, IE isn't going anywhere. And those dinosaur applications are almost impossible to get rid of."
