That's great—until the ISV that publishes that specific software package
upon which your entire business is based releases that much-needed
upgrade with the neat-o feature that will make your business a whole lot
better, except it only runs on the newest release of that "one near
universal platform."  So now *you* have to pay for upgrades to that
platform for every one of your users.  Oh, and don't forget the new
licenses for your Exchange server.
