Funny story.
Basically the project I was working on had a plugin which only worked on ie 5. The plugin was very important and couldn't be easily decoupled. My task was to find the best possible workaround while not breaking the existing stuff.
On my another project, I asked a IT support eng. why they didn't update to chrome or Firefox . He said that it's easier to fix issues than make a suit realise why they should switch to modern browser.
Interesting, I've never really been one for the easiest solution. Where possible I try to strive for the best solution but not always possible. Also, sometimes the easiest solution is the best solution.
It was fun. Learnt lot about migrating from a legacy system to whatever version it is possible. (There were lot of project restraints ).
Faced some really weird bugs.
I think we will face similar situation once chrome becomes default browser and starts stagnating.
