The problem is - many many many offices are stuck with computers running XP (or even older OS) as they are stuck using business software that will not run on later OS's.
We launched a clickable flash video player and found many offices were still running flash 8 or 9. Our dev tried to tell us they would all migrate soon, but the thing is they have never worked in the corporate world, so don't know how slow internal IT teams are to update, for a whole host of reasons.

Many companies (even companies that are super profitable, like mine) haven't spent money upgrading perfectly usable PC's. It sucks being stuck on IE8, but we can (and do) deploy Firefox and or Chrome (both depending on need) that both work on XP.
