Right now, we try to avoid anything that's non-standard on any of the OS's 'cause it's just too much of a PITA to deal with for our Tech Support people. "Keep It Simple Stupid" works wonders when you've got the diversity of sytems our app is installed on.

I've gotten most of my clients to agree that they'll standardize on IE and WSH in-house - the moves by NAI and Symantec to require IE4 or later to automate some of their web-based AV services cerainly didn't hurt my insistance that the same tools were required for broad features of my apps. Then showing how I could deliver functionality that was leveraged off the browser and WSH quickly for less money usually clinched theings.
