I have a favorite rant about how much of corporate America's money MSFT wasted learning a new interface so they could put new lipstick on their products in 2007. There was NOTHING wrong with the way it had worked for the past 25-30 years, but of course that wouldn't have been "progress".
Hmmm - I think I see a theme here.

I'm in IT, and can't tell you how many times I've ever heard coworkers(usually the people in charge) use the empty headed phrase: "Change Is Good". Usually that's the response when people complain about changing to an undesirable product or upgrade. I usually make it a point to disagree, saying "No, POSITIVE Change Is GOOD". Going out of business, losing your job, or death is also change, but it isn't necessarily a situation where "Change Is Good" or an 'upgrade' being "progress". Just look at our President who wanted to implement "change" for a perfect example of change NOT being "good"....
