Corporate users need to seriously rethink their glacial technology adoption cycle. In the BigCos I've worked at in the past, we're usually told it's due to security, yet we're almost always stuck on versions with glaring security holes that were solved years ago.<p>The problem indicated in the blog post (and the comments) is that the software ecosystem, add-ons, various vendor web sites, etc., take too long to bring up to speed. I can also attest to this, I worked at one organization that was stuck on IE 6 because the bloated and ridiculous expense reporting system wouldn't work on anything newer. They finally had to upgrade to some newer version because a major customer site simply refused to work with IE6 and we couldn't turn in our work. The weeping and whining from the corp IT department over having to upgrade the enterprise lasted for a year at least. It was actually a major contributor to me leaving the company I found it so absurd and annoying.<p>Strange that the vast vast majority of web sites on the open web don't seem to have a problem with this. Could it be because they write to standards? I always wondered what bizarre things were going on in that old expense system that just <i>broke</i> on new browsers.
