In the last few years Microsoft made it clear to the user’s internet browser to avoid using Internet Explorer 6 (IE6). Not just simply worn out, the technology used a decade-old software is already too old so it is not safe.
However, until now the number of IE6 users do not also run out though it was out IE7, IE8, even minute IE9. Recent data reported by Net Applications on February 28, 2011, there were 12 percent of computers around the world who are still actively accessing the internet using IE6. It is down 9 percent than last year, but still too risky.
The largest country many still use IE6 is China by donating 5.9 percent. In this Bamboo Curtain country, IE6 users still reached 34.5 percent. Other countries whose level is still a large percentage of IE6 users are in South Korea by 24.8 percent, India 12.3 percent, Taiwan 10.7 percent, 10.7 percent of Saudi Arabia, and Vietnam 10 percent. IE6 users in Indonesia live 3.3 percent. In the U.S. alone was 2.9 percent.
