But how far back will Epson or any other manufacturer go?  There are 
probably plenty of old models out there which are working fine, but 
which many manufacturers won't go back and update drivers for.  As someone
already pointed out, if writing those drivers was farmed out to another
company, that company may not exist any more.

1. The quantity of people still using Internet Explorer Six
    is _huge_.

2. This doesn't stop suppliers of web-based software that we'd
    like to use from blaming _our_ use of IE6 for the problems
    that are really caused by their belief that they can't sell
    their stuff unless they make it so ridiculously complicated

I despise that effing IE6 too, but I admire MS for allowing me to do 
this kind of thing:

<!--[if lt IE 9]>

  put all sorts of old crap here
<![endif]-->

which works quite well (back to IE5) and allows me to hide any possible 
hint of innovation or modernity from those who see those things as a 
wicked intrusion into their self-satisfaction.

No one who uses Safari or FF or Chrome refuses to update their browsers. 
Why are MS users so willfully stupid?

It's spelled 'Active X'. Far too many web apps are built for far too many 
different _industries_ (not companies, _industries_) which depend on Active X 
as it was done for MSIE 6... and which simply won't work anymore. That's why 
so many machines are still running WinXP Service Pack 2: SP3 forced the 
update from MSIE 6 to 7, and that broke lots and lots of web apps! How long 
ago did SP3 come out? Well, that's how long entire _industries_ have been 
using stuff they _know_ can't be upgraded... but stick with it 'cause doing 
otherwise would be hideously expensive. The banks, for example, are finally 
moving to Win7 and MSIE 8... but not because they want to. Rather, it's 
because the Feds are making them move, and Microsoft has lit a fire under 
them by announcing that support for SP2 is gone (as of last year June) so 
it's not as though they had a choice. I've got clients who are literally 
upgrading from WinNT4 to XP. Yes, you read that correctly. They're 
_upgrading_ to XP. Why they don't just go to Win7 and be done is unclear to 
me, but they're the clients and we must support them or lose the contracts. 
We'd rather be paid, thanks.

I've worked in a bank myself.  They tend to have a huge base of internal 
applications which the customers never see.  And then there are things 
like SAP.

Yeah, especially when the stuff you put there crashes IE. That is the best

They are generally people who either have no clue at all, or they work in
companies with IT departments that are willfully ignorant and clueless.

7 or 8 years ago I came across a mentality where some web developers 
thought it was outrageous that:

a) my employers weren't running MSIE
b) they wouldn't let me install it on my work PC

Of course, that place had IE aware web sites for external customers, but 
for the internal applications, it was Netscape all the way.

Some folks don't understand what a mammoth job it can be to update and 
test all that lot.

I don't mind them using IE -- what I can't understand is the refusal to 
update to a newer version. 

IE8 isn't a bad browser, requires very few tweaks. IE9, which only works 
with Windows 7, apparently is fully compliant with all my experiments. 
No one seems to use IE 7, because once you've started on the upgrade 
path, you stay on it, I guess.

Well, _that_ is spelled 'Active Directory'. AD allows you to pull _all kinds 
of tricks... if the only browser in use is MSIE. Using some other browser 
bypasses most of the tricks. IT will therefore try their best to make sure 
that only MSIE is installed.

Which is why I carry a laptop _and_ a USB web-connect stick. I can ignore the 
restrictions of the local IT department whenever I'm at a client site.

And, oh, one more thing, actually on topic this time: As Apple has dumped 
Samba (thanks to the new GPL3 being aimed right at Apple and others who were 
'exploiting the loopholes' in previous versions) and has written a whole new 
SMB stack for Lion, there's _another_ reason to not use Lion: incompatibility 
with Active Directory. I have it on _very_ good authority that Apple's new 
SMB setup _hates_ binding to Active Directory. They're working on it and 
trying to fix it, but so far it flat out refuses to bind to Server 2003 or 
earlier AD setups, and has spotty connectivity to Server 2008 setups.

Or so I'm told, anyway. Well, not so much told as heard the screams of rage 
emanating from the office where the Mac with the Lion test setup is locked 
away. Pretty much everyone in a half-mile radius heard _that_.

(Other screams of rage were due to printer problems. How do you think I 
_knew_ to check certain printers? Why do you think I can be absolutely 
_certain_ that they simply don't work in Lion and won't work unless and until 
the vendor ships new drivers? Why do you think I went on a hunt for PPC-only 
items on my system, and found that, for example, _some Automator scripts_ 
count as PPC-only? There's _lots_ of PPC-only stuff in there!)

I'm not under NDA, but those who are might want to invest in better 
sound-proofing.

Firefox doesn't support ActiveX, which is very useful for malware 
writers.

Just to add to this - we've been keeping 2004 on our machines even 
though we use Keynote mostly these days for the same reason.  When the 
PPTX format came out (2008) we did comparative testing of round-trip 
edits using various platforms / softwares, and found that the worst 
possible route was PPT to PPTX to PPT via MSO2008 - not only was it 
insanely slow to migrate the ppt to pptx, but the migration broke 
templates, which were even more broken on the return trip.  The file 
that arrived at PPT second time was OK to look at but largely 
uneditable.  Perhaps only MS could introduce a new file format and not 
provide robust legacy file format support...

We have a reasonably large library of PPT files too - and it was clear 
that to migrate to PPTX would require us to rebuild all these files as 
native PPTX files (due to loss of template functionality on import to 
PPTX).  At that time Keynote did a much better job of migrating PPT 
files, was much cheaper and ran more quickly.  So we moved to Keynote, 
and have been happy enough, and have kept 2004 on machines to provide 
PPT support as needed - using the MS migrator to downgrade PPTX if 
needed (or simply working on these in Keynote and re-exporting as PPT).

We were aware of the 2004 / Lion problem from playing with a Preview 
edition, and have looked at our options.  It appears we'll either have 
to go 100% to Keynote and trust the PPT export feature, or shell out 
for MSO2011 - non-trivial and not cheap.  2011 does appear to be 
substantially improved over 2008, and (presumably thanks to not having 
to load rosetta) much quicker to load and use.  But three years too 
late for us I think.

Anyhow... YMMV etc.
