Who? That would be anyone who:
1) ... doesn't want someone else deciding what gets installed on
their computer.
2) ... has web based applications that will only function properly with a specific version of IE, or that won't function with a specific version of IE.
They'll be pushing IE9 to systems running Win7, without bothering to ask. We've found the performance of IE9 to be rather slow. In fact I've rolled back to IE8, on about 10 systems, because users thought that their whole systems were running slow as a result of it being installed.
We also know that two of our web applications, that are necessary for operation in the university, do not function in IE9. IE8 is as far as their compatibility goes, at this point. We've got people working on compatibility, for IE9, but you can't just pull the rug out from under your clients for the hell of it.
