the point of the article is that, whether its supported or not, enterprises still continue to use it. It is similar in regards to IE 6 that MS itself has campaigns to tell enterprises to switch from IE 6 (http://www.ie6countdown.com/ http://www.ie6countdown.com/), but they still continue using it.
- markokocic 15y agoI understand the point, but the difference is that enterprises couldn't move away from IE6 for years since that was the latest one. In the meantime, it got so entrenched that it was very hard to move on. Java 1.6 was released soon after 1.5, so companies that decided to stay with 1.5 are at fault, not Sun (now Oracle), which provided them with the fully compatible upgrade path.
- melling 15y agoIE6 is still a supported product so if there are issues people can get help. Most people in enterprise will choose a supported over unsupported product. Actually, I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't.
