Rating: 2 So please tell us why are you even posting to this
article? By your own statements you are NOT connected to the
internet. Why pray tell do you even care about IE9? None of its
features will be of any real use to you. Stay with what you
have, your system is pretty much set in stone at this time. The
problem is when (NOT IF) your system starts to go it will pretty
much be a cascading system failure and everything you do will
come to a screaming halt. That will cost 10-100 times the cost
to get running on newer hardware with emergency hardware
replacements and software re-writes which as you point out will
probably not be as stable due to the rush needed to get things
up. It's a recipe for disaster. Being a bit proactive saves a
fortune compared to being totally reactive which is the path
your company seems to be taking.
