Microsoft's Internet Explorer Isn't Dead in the Enterprise - PCWorld

Microsoft's Internet Explorer Isn't Dead in the Enterprise - PCWorld
____________________________________________________
It is sad that Active X is still being used in some corporate environs tying them to outdated, legacy versions of Internet Explorer. Finally, with the success of Windows 7, many IT professionals are beginning to update their corporate platforms. Consumers have been ahead enterprise users in moving to Firefox, Safari, Chrome or Opera. Clearly their are better options than Windows Explorer.

During my more than two year stint in South Korea which ended in March I found that many Korean websites required Internet Explorer as a result of their dependence on outdated, full of security holes, Active X controls. This dependence on Active X has hampered the adoption of the Firefox or Chrome browsers or Apple's Mac computers from making a significant impact in the Korean market.
