New poll available on browser usage

For all Web GIS developers: A recent poll on the ArcObjects Development Blog asks about browsers that your clients require you to support. Specifically we're interested in knowing what percentage of your clients are still requiring Internet Explorer 6 support this year.

Please take the poll and if you have more detailed comments for us on browser support by ESRI components, please post them here. We'd like to learn about general trends you're seeing in browser support requested by your clientele.

# re: New poll available on browser usage

As a web gis developer, I really love to see esri product support all popular browsers like IE, FF3, and Google Chorme. Right now we have some customers who still use IE6, but some others at the same time use IE7 and Firefox.

As for me, after having tried some new feaures in 9.3 like JavaScript API, I found it rarely work on IE.

Looking forward to see some improvement.

I think its more up to MS and if they push for people to upgrade browsers. Many of our clients are still on IE6, particularly ones in the public sector. All this hype about Silverlight might encourage people/organisations to bump up to more up-to-date browsers.
