The root of the problem is not IE specific behavior, but lack of auto-updating feature.

If MS doesn't remove a barrier between versions, nothing will change.

This was already addressed in msie10 or maybe possibly earlier. Auto updates are enabled by default.

... and every IT department is forced to deploy a Group Policy which disables them.

But they do the same for other browsers, so really it just puts everything on the level.

I think they meant feature updates, not security updates. And those come not very frequently, but agreed, even then, they are automatic (unless some moron disabled Windows Update).

[josteink]

That was what I meant. IE now auto updates to the latest version. That means new features.

But you won't get shiny new features every six weeks, which I feel is what most of these comments are aiming at.
