[Wsuug] Browser Market Share

[Kelley Walker]

Well, we always went with it because we worked with clients
and needed that extra bit of security that, at the time, XP
didn't offer. Same reason we don't use Outlook. Same reason
we use a landline for the business. Some clients looking for
security vendors will only allow landlines.

Because it still has strong market penetration, I'm not the
only one still using it. You say "it's old" as if it's a bad
thing, I prefer "mature and more secure."
