I always wondered why people are still running older web browsers until I started at my current job. Here I am forced to use IE6 to develop all of our internal applications, as our target users also are using IE6. Is anyone else in a situation where they aren’t allowed to run the latest technology, and what is stopping you? Have you tried to persuade IT/management to upgrade?
Same IE6 here. I’ve heard, for about the last year, that we’re updating to IE7 — right at/before the release of IE8.
We’re currently planning to upgrade from MSSQL Server 2000 to 2005 — right after the release of 2008.
Corporations don’t like ‘brand new’ — it’s too expensive and too risky to upgrade until everyone else finds the issues. If it breaks on you, you’re stuck waiting for the patch. Using something with at least a good year on it, plus a nice list of updates, and price drops, still only helps them consider it for down the road.
You can try pushing for it, and probably find they’ve already considered it — but, I wouldn’t get your hopes high.
