UniBrows, a plugin from Browsium that enables users to  use Internet Explorer 8 to view IE6-only sites, was released from beta today. The idea is to enable enterprises that require IE6 for legacy apps to be able to upgrade to newer versions of the browser. This would also provide a path to upgrade to Windows 7, which doesn't support Internet Explorer 6. UniBrows will also support IE9 in a few weeks, according to Browsium's Gary Schare.

As we've reported, Internet Explorer 6 persists in many enterprises for a variety of reasons. Many organizations run third-party or in-house applications that require IE6 but are too expensive to upgrade or replace.
