Every major tech company should simultaneously tell Flash to go fuck themselves.

Microsoft is going to drop support for any version below IE11 soon.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

That's great, but not actually going to do anything. IE 8 has been unsupported for years, yet there is still a considerable number of idiots who use it, preventing progress to this day.
They need to put some kind of warning there. Some huge "DUDE. This browser is not supported. It's a risk to use it. It doesn't support modern web technologies. Click here to upgrade" - dialog that is only skippable after 10 seconds every time IE <= 11 is opened up.
That would help.
Companies are such cowards, to still build websites like it's 2007 today, instead of having the balls to tell the IE users to either upgrade the browser or to stay out, because their browser is insufficient.

Yea, reminds me of my friend that seriously thought, after typing the website address, that Facebook was something that came installed on her desktop.
We're not friends anymore.

>they should force people to update
>/g/ always complains that windows forces you to update
i agree with you though to be honest senpai

No, they're going to only support the highest IE available for all supported versions of windows. So they'll only support IE 9 for vista, IE 11 for 7 and so on.

The problem isn't so much individual users, it's enterprise. It costs a business time, money, and manpower to update internal websites and to test and package newer versions of IE for internal distribution. My company still puts out IE8 by default, and has only been trying to push IE11 out over the last few months (and breaking everything in the process). Same thing goes for Flash Player and Java Runtime versions. Hell, we only transitioned to Windows 7 (mostly) a few months ago.
