I know it is funny. What is tragic is that recently we wanted to go to IE8. Some major program we use did not work anymore, while it worked with IE7. When asked if they could solve the issue, the answer was that the program was made for IE6 so we should downgrade to that.
What makes it double sad is that that 'advice came from the main IT department.

Deploy IE6 with Terminal Services for far less than $30,000. Configure it to only talk to the the authorized applications. Deploy any browser you would like to the desktop.
Where do I send my bill for solving your problem for less than "hundreds of thousands of dollars"?
