I am always surprised at people's need to stick to the older technology.
I am no means an early adopter. Especially on my work computer, I need to
move slowly so that I don't impact my performance too drastically, but why
would anyone stick with IE 6 I can't imagine. It is riddled with security
holes and hasn't been patched in years.
The fact that it works with JAWS 9 and Windows XP doesn't really encourage
me. I mean, didn't JAWS 3.51 work well with IE 5 and Windows 95? Or some
other combination there of?
Just because a particular combination worked 8 years ago, doesn't make it
the better choice. I didn't particularly like Windows 7 the first couple
of months that I worked with it, but now it works just fine for me, I even
like parts of it better than Windows XP.
Eventually, you have to upgrade or lose out on many things. The longer
you wait to upgrade, the harder it becomes because the more things change
from what you know. Fewer, smaller incremental changes are usually easier
than one huge monumental change.
