IE 11 has automatic updates, check out its "info" dialog! Though I saw several corporate PCs where the admins turned the autoupdate off.
Older IE got updates through Windows Update. The last IE version for WinXP was IE 8.
If IE 12 doesn't come with a transparent IE compatibility mode and just starts a IE 11 window, corporate admins will probably set IE 11 as default browser.
So developers of enterprise websites are stuck with IE 11 and its almost finished but a bit broken HTML5 support for years to come :(
It would be really nice if all browsers had an expiration date. If they haven't been updated in 12 months, they simply cease to operate in any way except to update themselves.
In which case I nominate you to field the billion support calls from people confused why their "Internet" is broken. No rather just silently update it.
