Upgrading the browser is not too tedious a task. In fact, if your IT department had left Windows Update turned on, they'd have at least IE7 by now.

Of course, they can't leave WinUpdate on because they did not legally purchase Windows :p

this is a great point made by someone that has never worked in IT..

Nevermind the fact that nearly all proprietary software on a system may or may not function correctly with the release of a service pack or a new browser, testing should always be done before hand which is why auto updates are turned OFF.

on the IE6 front i completely agree, i have a redirect page setup with a link to IE 7 for our company website.. IE7 isnt the newest and greatest thing by any means but its a whole lot better than its predecessor.
