Worse yet, the latest versions of IE don't even work on all the "supported" versions of windows. Its no wonder that its lost a lot of market share. Microsoft has basically told its users "upgrade to the latest windows, or use another browser".

Its a really dumb move, because the percentage of people who upgrade windows to get a newer IE is probably close to 0%. Worse yet, it encourages people to use a competitors product, so when they do eventually upgrade its likely those users will install chrome/firefox/etc and continue to use it.
