Stuck with Windows XP and IE 6 at Office

It’s so lame. After using the likes of Ubuntu and Windows 7 at home, it feels like I’m in a stone age when I use my office laptop. Windows XP is what my office laptop has and to top it off, the browser of choice is IE 6.

I can’t help it. IT department has sent out a notice saying that all employees are advised not to upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 (what about IE 8 ?) as some of the internal websites are not compatible. Ohh dear. It’s been years since IE 7 is available and now IE 8 is out too. But we are still stuck with IE 6.

I don’t understand corporate IT departments sometimes !!!
