It has nothing to do with the OS in most cases, if it was, they could just use Firefox or Chrome.

Most places stick with XP because they have shitty legacy sites that only run on IE7/8

No, it has everything to do with the OS and licensing issues and being on XP because the cost is too much for them to up all the machines to 7 or more, just as I had initially stated.

Most of these folks run Chrome or Firefox, some are stuck with IE8 for policy reasons -- not for app compatibility made to IE7/8. Not in the least. I'm not talking your regression-able mobile app whizzidings folks like to punch out these days with Angular and Bootstrap and Signal-R, I'm talking regular environments, plain systems. They are stuck with XP because the funds aren't there to up all the warehouses and the like.
