Who are you to decide that keeping up-to-date is more important, and maintenance of internal systems be damned?

These things must be in the hands of those responsible for maintaining the systems. Anything else, and the potential risk is too high, and enterprise customers will have no choice but to stay away.

Heck, right now you're giving them one more excuse to stay with IE6.

EDIT: you also haven't defended your stance on forced upgrades in the nature of Chrome. Even if you were right about frequency, forcing the changes whether the users are ready or not is madness.

Do you use any web service like Gmail or Google.com? They "force" changes on users all the time. That's the beauty of web development.
Except, it's doubtful their upgrade would break a critical enterprise-class application because those enterprise-class customer's aren't using it to begin with.
