My work "upgraded" to IE 11 late last year. The problem is so much of our internal infrastructure was built to target IE 8 (or earlier) that when our information services guys deployed IE 11 they forced it to run in compatibility mode.

Now you have to go through this endless dance of Enable/Disable compatibility mode depending on what site you are trying to visit. We have a lot of non technical users so as soon as you ask them to delve into menu options to use some added functionality on a site you lose them.

Even technical users hate this so most people sideload chrome. However a large number of workstation are locked down and those people have no option but to continue with IE.
