So? Old, poorly-maintained systems have all sorts of issues. Not working with newer browsers is just one of them. Consider these possibilities: - Maintenance and support costs are notably higher than they would be with a newer system. It is worth noting that, technically speaking, Microsoft hasn't stopped supporting Windows XP. They're just raising the price and requiring a bespoke service agreement for XP support. - Not working with newer browsers means not working with smartphones and tablets. A company could be passing up opportunities to improve productivity with mobile devices. - It may be difficult or (practically) impossible to scale an old, brittle system with the needs of the business, especially if the old system has issues with newer hardware. - It may not interoperate well with newer systems in the organization, foreclosing opportunities to offer valuable products and/or services. And so on. Letting parts of your IT infrastructure bitrot has long-term consequences and companies should realize that when they make IT decisions.
