IE7: Get Your Compatibility Profile!
ByJoe Lewis
Scott Graff, Program Manger for IE7 Compatibility, reports that the new version of Microsoft Internet Explorer will be released later this month, and will be delivered to Windows users via automatic updates in the coming weeks.
So what do businesses have to look forward to with the new release of Microsoft Internet Explorer?
… more compatibility testing than signing up for an E-Harmony membership.
Let's face it; new software translates to new problems, and IE7 is no exception. In their blog, the development team claims, "Compatibility with sites, extensions and applications has been a very high priority for us." In the end, however, it appears that Microsoft is more concerned with the adaptation of the existing client base to their particular product ideal, rather than gearing said product to meet the needs of the current market.
So with that being said, let's take a look at what the good folks over at the IE7 development team recommend for your business to prepare for launch:
I had less to do to prepare for my college entrance exams.
But wait, that's not all! I forgot the gem of a read that comprises the release notes. Take a moment (or thirty) and see what you have to look forward to in this exciting new release of Microsoft Internet Explorer! (Embrace the sarcasm.)
Does it seem strange that there is more effort devoted to installation errors and unsupported toolbars than to new features and content? For a moment I couldn't distinguish whether I was reading the release notes or answers to frequently asked troubleshooting questions.
Thanks Microsoft, but I'll hold out for the new Firefox.
