I'm not saying I disagree with you, but there are other considerations. What about the costs of implementing a major upgrade cycle as opposed to letting the software update itself? What about the increased likelihood of delayed upgrades, leading to potentially insecure, outdated software? What about the happiness of your employees?

If cost is too high, then IT departments should have the option to opt-out of automated updates. But I argue that the default browser release behavior should be opt-out -- like Google Chrome. MS' opt-in style is setting them up for failure in the non-IT world.
