 * Where is the list of browser versions that is being checked against to determine
   if a dashboard_browser_nag is shown?

 * It’s a JSON file stored on _api.wordpress.org_. For details on how it is retrieved
   see the [source code](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/src/wp-admin/includes/dashboard.php#L1081).

 * Thank you. Is the list of browsers always just the latest version for each or
   how is that updated? I have a client that has to use IE 9.0 for some of their
   other software vendors applications to work and they are refusing to switch off
   IE and want to know if they can go up to IE 10 to get rid of the browser_nag.
   I don’t want to remove the code from the dashboard file or I’ll be doing it on
   every update too.
 * Thanks again.

 * I’ve no idea sorry. You could send an IE 10 User Agent string through the function
   and see what comes back.
 * Yes, do not alter dashboard.php for this! You might be able to hide the nag box
   the same way you would hide other meta boxes by script. I believe the screen 
   settings are stored in the options table. The trick is to set the hide setting
   right after the nag script sets it to display to begin with.
 * You might be able to hide the nag box with CSS. If not that, then jQuery should
   be able to hide or remove the content, though users may see it flash on as the
   page loads before jQuery has a chance to remove it.
