Hehe, true.

Reminds me of a developer I met, back when I was in university, who told me they simply wrote a Web based front-end for their customers and when they whined about browsers not supporting it or that they can't install new browsers, they simply made them a Qt app with a Webkit view. Somehow "stripped down browsers" were okay for enterprise admins, haha.

This was 2010, so it seems to be "a thing" for a long time :D
