Very funny. IE 8 has 20% market share? Whoever hasn't migrated off that browser is not a very bright user.

ZDNet reported the same results in August 2014. Why hasn't the data changed much?

At the same time, ZDnet reported that Microsoft will drop support for IE 8 in Jan 2016. Only one year out although I thought that IE 8 users were only on Windows XP who were already off of support anyway. These users need to upgrade their computers ASAP so they are protected from viruses and Windows hacks.

There may be some commercial equipment like cash registers and bank machines that still run on Windows XP which also connect through the internet with the IE 8 browser for site-to-site communications.

Here is the w3 Counter data that shows different browser usage figures. Chrome is first. All of IE is second (17%). Firefox is 3rd. IE 8 has only a 4% percent market share on this tracking method.
