ok heres a good example whatever dipshit did the apps for farmers insurance group made all their stuff ie specific now farmers lets the agents access those pages remotely but u have to have ie but farmers also wont support any problems if u have installed sp2 and sent out letters saying dont install it or uninstall it so now everyone is completely screwed because of someones inability to see the future. and of course they dont wanna pay to fix it either but i sure bet whomever did that account wont be doing it again. they also have talked about going to linux but im sure u can figure that one out.
