    If you are big enough, and people want to use your software enough, you can dictate what you will support no matter who is paying.[0] [0] https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jan/30/flash-youtube-nostalgia https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jan/30/flash-you...

    If you’re losing a sale because your software doesn’t work in IE11, maybe your software isn’t actually all that good. I understand some companies insist on IE11, but companies insist on a lot of “requirements” that aren’t actually necessary if you push back on them. When the rubber hits the road, if your software is truly the best/only option, they can find a way to use a secure browser to access it.

  They can if the software is good enough and the customer really wants it. "Killer app" only works in the consumer and small business spaces these days.

      Nobody bought new computers to run Slack. "Killer app" came from Visicalc, which caused millions of accountants and businesspeople to buy Apple II machines.

        I'm about to buy a new phone. The slack app stopped working on my phone, won't install on my tablet.
