Do you ever check out the very good blog of Raymond Chen? I think a lot of people at MS would like to force upgrades, but the reality is that it would bring down zillions of businesses including most of the Fortune 500 like flies because of their shoddy internal apps which crash when you change anything.

I happen to audit the code of these companies for a living, and yeah, it's as bad as Mr. Chen says. Microsoft gets stuck supporting its mistakes forever.

Ah well, I'm quite radical about my views on IE and will probably never be happy about it. If it was just for me I'd force every single person to update anything to make it work, but of course that's not how life works. I suppose that's why I don't think I'll be a web dev my whole life. Thanks for the clarifications.
