Microsoft decided that due to their new interoperability initiative, they would reverse a previous decision to make IE8 default to the IE7 engine, instead of supporting standards-compliance by default. No article or musing I have yet read has delved into what is increasingly likely, the reason for this sudden change in decision -- and that is this: the mobile web is coming.

They will upgrade. Microsoft upgrades leave you with no choice, you must upgrade to. So, they will have to upgrade to 8.x, and adjust their applications as well.
I don't think they will have so many compatibility problems to fix, many developers write code that works in any browser, for years. Enterprises are sticking with IE because it can be managed with group policies.
