No one uses older versions of Internet Explorer by choice

While doing my occasional SeatGeek google analytics review to see if we can drop IE 8 yet, I came across some pretty interesting data. Older versions of IE show a much stronger dropoff in usage over the weekend. This fits the narrative that these old versions tend to hang around for awhile in corporate deployments quite nicely, I just never expected the effect to be so stark.

Notes

  • IE 8 is the last version to support Windows XP. My guess is that's why we get more traffic from IE 8 than from IE 9.
  • The "Desirability Coefficient" is a ratio of the daily weekend usage to the daily weekday usage.
  • Safari's pattern looks a lot like IE 10: little visually perceptible weekend dropoff. Chrome and firefox both show a bit of weekend dropoff, but nowhere near as much as either IE 8 or IE 9.

Think this is interesting?

We're hiring a Frontend Developer at SeatGeek to work with awesome web technologies (ie. the kind found in IE > 9)!
