Does anyone know where to get current stats on IE5.0 and IE5.5 use? I'm guessing it's below 1% if you look at a wide variety of "general use" sites, like portals and news, but it'd be great to have some solid data on that -- especially to show to clients who request that their sites support it.
Microsoft dropped support for IE5.0 and IE5.5 on their websites. I think that's a sufficient argument right there. :) Haven't had anyone argue with that so far...
Thanks for that info -- definitely a helpful bit of ammo.
Would still love to see some stats from a general pool, though, if anyone knows where to find them. You could argue that just because MS stopped supporting the versions doesn't mean there aren't people who just can't figure out how to upgrade or don't know they need to out there. Knowing that that number is some trivial percent would be very helpful.
Barring that, maybe the argument can be strengthened if Google and Yahoo have also dropped support. Will check it out.
