  1. If it ain't broke... on Ask Slashdot: Why Won't Companies Upgrade Old Software? · · Score: 1

    Companies, much like people, don't always like to change what they use or how they use it. This is because newer is not always better. The real issue here is that if you have a business that runs well on the software system that is currently in place, you don't want to lose that. And unless the newest upgrade can provide some proven, obvious win, why risk the proven, obvious failure that we've all seen time and time again (xp upgrading to Vista, windows 7 upgrading to windows 8, every unnessecary bios flash ever, ect)?
