I fail to see how Microsoft's decision to not fix these proprietary APIs in future IE releases is somehow the fault of "the non-engineering background trendy startup pushing culture".

Your company bought into a single-vendor solution that was then (as is TYPICAL of said vendor) dropped like a rock. Tough.

The two points are separate. The former is a fact, the latter is a general attitude.

Not our company fortunately, but I have stuff to integrate with their systems. They had supply and maintenance contracts and soure escrow. The supplier went under rather than dropped the product - this is not typical. The replacement is being built by ex-members of the supplier working for the company.

They won in a bad market so it's hardly a "tough" situation.
