Yes, but corporations usually synchronize OS upgrades. In any case, this
problem is not substantially different from having different versions of the
same web browser. Like I said, smart client/server apps can detect version
diffs and automatically download and configure at launch time, before the
user even sees the splash screen, a process that can be easier to handle for
an average user than a browser upgrade on the spot.
