"Internet Explorer has a large business base and can be found in many firms, Government departments and Schools, these entities are often slow to update as they have to consider the management and security concerns involved when upgrading software"

This is so true. My work place finally upgraded to 8 from 6 a couple of months ago. 9 Will take even longer as we're not moving from XP any time soon! Kind of scary really as this makes you very vulnerable to exploits.

Edit: Thankfully we can use a proper browser for outside websites! (Chrome 15 in my case)

At least they've made the first moves, and 6 to 8 is a much bigger step than 8 to 9. We might move on from IE6 when we get rid of the remaining W2k machines

There is no need for Chrome, Chrome Frame for IE makes it up for it! Absolutely love the product and Chrome rendering ending combines with webconfig changes on IIS works great!

We now officially use Chrome at work since we started using Google Docs more - IE simply was too sluggish with javascript for our users to accept working with big documents. Once you get used to its quirks there is no going back. So far at least no support issues other than a few old VB-only or NTLM-auth intranet sites.

It wont be top for long as they've just switched to chrome 16.
Chrome with ad block is my default recommended install.

Surely IE within chrome is much better than chrome within IE ?
