I'm currently involved in vetting a massive data management service (we're talking $50,000 per year) for my main client, and am the point man for pre-vetting the web-based client to see if there are any issues with migration of our test databases. First try...it barely works at all. I called them up and they expressed astonishment that I was not using Internet Explorer. WTF?!? Our IT dept dumped IE a few years ago when it was having security issues and severe lack of features. We are standardized on Firefox and this supposedly international company doesn't support firefox. Who are they trying to kid? The tech person said they'd never had this problem before because all their clients use IE. Are they pulling my leg? Sure, IE has 65% of the market, but ALL of their clients?
