...in 2010. In 2012, though, maybe all three will be critical.
There's nothing particularly wise about "business decisions". A thing is not to be considered "quality" because a Fortune 500 company settles on it. The IT hive minds have routinely missed major trends - not noticed it until upstart companies were killing them by taking advantage. If business were really in charge, we would all have Lotus Notes instead of email and web, and people would pay $70/month for remote desktop capabilities.

That's 3 years and 11 months longer than they actually needed.

the "uncool" browser is going to be unsurprisingly the correct choice for people who have actual work to do.

Except if they want to work at home
Or on the bus on their Android phone
Or at the beach with their iPad
Or at their friend's house with the Mac
Or any of the platforms and places we haven't thought of yet. Can't do any of that because of "business decisions". Because of ƒuckin MBAs and CIOs who get their information from places like Information Week so they can do
exactly what everybody else does.
Thus preventing them from having any competitive advantage from any competitors, who operate in exactly the same way, by hiring the same consultants and making the same safe decisions and cashing their big-dollar paychecks for doing it...
I ƒart on their graves.
