IE6 Still Going Strong In China 158
RackNine writes "Net Applications estimates that IE6 has a share of 33.8% in China, StatCounter estimates about 40.2%. Consider the fact that there are currently about 477 million Internet users in China and you get 160 to 192 million IE6 users. That is potentially more than all Internet users in Africa and the Middle East combined (187 million)."

That's kind of funny in comparison to my little corner of the US. On a gardening site I run (so non-techie) I'm currently seeing IE with a 42% market share total. This is down from 51% a year ago, and somewhere around 65% the year before that.

It's only IE8+ that doesn't run on XP.
All the others run on XP and several of them will still run on 2000 and even 95/98.
The problem is that activeX seems to be very popular in Chinese websites.
