Is that really true? You'd think that the government has security provisions that requires software updates.

As for K-12, is that really a requirement in some places, or is it just the case that some clients just happen to not be updated?

IE9 gets security updates on Vista SP2.

More generally IE9 and IE10 are both still supported by Microsoft (for Vista SP2, Server 2008 SP, Server 2008 IA64; and for Server 2012, and Embedded 8 Standard), so it seems entirely plausible Microsoft would sell security updates for other OSes to clients willing to pay for them; they definitely do that for some clients (some still get security updates for XP!).

These outdated OSes have a tiny market share, and more importantly, an organization that prevents sw installation doesn't use outdated OSes. Others can install Firefox even on XP. Old Androids and IPhones are a bigger issue.
