Sure, I like old facebook, but not so much as I would purposefully chose to use old IE.

Or IE for that matter.

The /only/ part of the "article" that was related to the title

"Many people are resistant to the new Facebook layout changes and are opting to use old outdated browsers to maintain the more familiar Facebook page layout. In addition, companies frustrated with their employees' wasting precious work hours on social media sites are using these outdated browsers to enforce employee compliance."

[citation needed]

And just to be clear - we are saying that companies would rather risk increased security risks and more manhours spent waiting on page requests and execution...to stop people from getting rounded corners and facebook layout updates? That has to be one of the silliest things I have heard in a very long time.

Companies are always resistant to change. IE7 and IE8 are still prevalent in medium to large corporations. So I think the answer is yes.
