Do these corporations not have security issues with these old browsers?

You're assuming corporations take security seriously.

The newer browsers actually come with a lot of feature-induced security problems too. Microsoft continues to release security updates for IE7 so it might be better to use than a newer version of IE that could have HTML5 exploits.

On WinXP. You can run it on Server 2008 and receive security updates until 2020.

Interesting, but who's running Server 2008 as a corporate desktop OS?

Everybody with a Terminal Server installation from 2008. It's actually surprisingly common :/

Probably no-one. I can think of a bunch of people who run it as a Terminal Server though.

IE8 and older also have things like HTML+TIME which is used in at least one real world exploit, to name just one thing.

Yes they have.

I work on one of those (I'm the webmaster), they didn't wanted to get me firefox or chrome, because of 'security issues'...
