Not from my perspective, but from a corporate perspective this actually makes sense. gag
The problem is that corporates in general tend to test certain things to a ridiculous extreme, and other (usually more important) things not at all. Wherever I've worked at a large gov dept/corporate in the last ~4 years and they haven't updated from IE 6 the (lame) excuse is that it would require too much testing. Not of the new app, but of all the thousands of old apps, any one of which might get sideswiped by this change and you wouldn't even know why.
Last year I took a contract at a major govt dept where they were still using Windows I shit you not 95. That wasn't the only thing that prompted my swift exit, but it weighed heavily in the decision making.
