> Strange that the vast vast majority of web sites on the open web don't seem to have a problem with this. Could it be because they write to standards? I believe ther's a better answer: the owners/operators of the websites are incentivized to update them to current popular browsers. Let's face it, writing to standards helps, but does not guarantee good cross-browser compatibility if the website is somewhat complex. Also the owners/operator usually are themselves -- or have on hand -- the people that can modify the site's code right away. May have something to do with popular sites being either very simple, or being developed all the time. To contrast, the corporate IT is the embodiment of ``don't touch it if itsn't broken'' and ``fill in those three forms before you check any new code in'' mindset. Os just outright procurement of huge systems from external vendors with no contractual provisions for updates to match current software. (which was one of the ills of my previous workplace, sigh)
