First, find out more... knowing the most about what's driving that decision can give you the most leverage to change it. Some things I'd try to learn: -- current major version they're installing (sometimes they approve new software only once every few years) -- whether they're currently up-to-date on the minor version (in such cases security fixes are okay) -- what their actual policies on updates and security fixes are -- how they're handling other updates, like Adobe Reader or anti-viral -- what is it that makes them think they should not keep their Internet software current No answer, I know, but a path...? jd/adobe
