The only lame excuses I can come up with are possibly:
laziness, stupidity, ignorance, complacency, fear of non-compliance (but 
I think that's a stretch) and perhaps the raccoon mentality of 'it's new 
and shiny - I MUST have it'.

Beyond that I have no idea why groups continue to use a Microsoft Virus 
Run-Time Environment or even see the excuses above as legitimate 
justification.
