iirc, 70% of all FF users upgrade within two weeks of a new version. 100% of Chrome users do without realizing it due to auto upgrade. The same is true of Safari and Opera. Who wouldn't?
On broadbandreports.com, a few people don't upgrade cause they don't like a change in the UI. One guy said he hated the orange color of the FF button in the corner and that's the reason he won't upgrade(!). But any product will have crazies and laggards and you can't do anything about them. |

Well, the answer isn't "because it's broken". If the port is working, there's no reason not to upgrade.

Several reasons why someone might not change to new software: 1) New software upgrades are time consuming and expensive. 2) New software does not run on old hardware. 3) New software runs slower on old hardware. 4) New software uses up too much disk space compared to old software. 5) New software has more bugs than old software. 6) New software is less secure than old software. 7) New software is less usable than old software. and there are probably many more "rational" reasons... |

Corporate standards may be set on older versions.

I'm talking about upgrading the browser which is either autoupdated or takes less than a minute to do so. Most of your points are invalid, too, but I'm really not in the mood to go into it and it's OT.

Was talking in general terms, not just BSD terms, but before anyone else brings up any other special conditions, I agree with @jggimi.
