IE is for the stupid and the uneducated. The stupid, you cant get the idea of a better browser. Uneducated just install it on their PCs and not tell them. :P

That's a bit condescending!
Perhaps those still using IE just haven't had the chance to experiment with other browsers.
Much like those who prefer windows (gagging) over other operating systems.

IE is also used by those who can NOT upgrade. Where users don't have permissions to download browsers. Where Operating Systems are so old they do not support newer browsers. Where the non-profit organisation cannot afford to pay trained people to do these upgrades when there are always more pressing things to do (get more equipment, get more donations, get more books...) We managed to get Firefox "working" on my uncle's Windows98 machine but it's a slow fat hog. His IE5.0 is much faster but it cannot handle larger pages, and he cannot upgrade to IE6 (OS is too old). I suppose someone here would be happy to donate to his upgrade-his-OS fund? Because none of us are going to try to explain Linux to someone who can point and click on good days. Now multiply that. How many libraries, schools, hospitals, fire departments, organisations are still on old windows servers? hundreds of machines? on a shoestring budget? I'd like to upgrade them all, but I'm not that rich either. Plenty of students at school are surfing on IE6 because they are forced to. I'm sorry but I really do not understand why this forum removes all my whitespaces and eats my code. I don't have this problem in any other forum anywhere. Sorry to people who have trouble reading this big chunk of text, I sure didn't write it this way!

Understand No Permissions, old op systems, but not Win98 thats 20 years old, at 5 cents a day put aside for 20 years would have been enough saved to buy a new one. Non-profits are just like any other company, the handfull on top make the big bucks at the expense of all else. For all the other things you listed, I thought the Netherlands was richer than that. The world bank list as #7 GDP (PPP) per capita out of 194 countries.
IE6 was released in 2001 and still displays websites with no problem (it's called quirks mode). You may not have all the extras and most programmers have accounted for the few short commings of IE6. There are other browsers out there like Opera, you can even install an older versions which work with older machines just read the requirements. It's not rocket science to download a file, click on it and click on yes to install it. I attached a jpg of just the hits from MSIE browsers it shows ver 8 down to version 2.
As far as your last problem goes the post looks fine on this end.
Maybe on your end it looks funny.
