Not a post exactly but I had my first ping of sympathy yesterday. We have an application that relies on flash for communication/video, and it broke several times over the last few weeks on Chrome & Firefox as they made adjustments & pushed them automatically. Sat down w/ my CTO and discussed the option of locking down automatic updates. Not the same thing exactly, but I imagine many IT departments wanted to update, saw their applications break on the new platform, and resist the change. It could cost more money and there is no guarantee of improvement by switching, so they keep it the same.

My first twinge of sympathy for them.
