Why not have an IE6 compatibility mode? Central IT could maintain a list of domains that require the mode to be switched on.

Why can't they release ActiveX as a plugin (like Flash, Shockwave etc). Then the big corporates could use any browser they liked with the ActiveX plugin so their shitty old apps would continue to work!

Obviously... there would have to be a limit to who could get this plugin - we don't want people installing ActiveX all over again unless they really need it!
