More on top 20 IT mistakes and software engineering
Malcolm Davis over at the java.net weblog community commented on the Top 20 IT mistakes feature I wrote a few weeks ago and picked the following “favorites”: mismanaging software development, developing web apps for IE only, and clinging to prior solutions.
I didn’t see this until I got home tonight, but I encountered an example of one of these today. I am helping with my school yearbook (elementary schools have yearbooks now?!) and we are going to do it all digital this year. But the web application requires IE. It won’t let you use anything else. I’m underwhelmed. I plan to grouse to the contact at the yearbook company about it and forward on some stuff about how organizations are rejecting IE or barring its use altogether.
If at all possible, don’t use Microsoft Internet Explorer.

If possible, don’t use Microsoft Windows.
