Right. Of course, the fact that that advice came from DHS, which still has a ton of XP/IE6-based internal apps probably made it that much worse. The government is a big client. Having them move to another browser, even if they haven't agreed to upgrade all the clients to the new Windows yet, is just a bad idea.

It's pretty obvious that they did this because people were being advised not to use IE - without specifying a version.
If they didn't update IE on XP then even IE on Win 7/8 would get hit by advice not to use it.
