My Company Upgrades to IE7
September 14th, 2009I received an email at work on Friday that all work computers will be upgraded to Internet Explorer 7 in the next few days. I nearly jumped out of my seat in joy. As someone who develops Intranet pages I can’t begin to say what a pain in the backside it is to support IE6.
IE 7 certainly isn’t perfect but it’s a damn site better than IE 6 especially in term of rendering and performance on JavaScript heavy pages.
Since IE 7 was released in October 2006 maybe we’ll get IE8 in March 2012! Of course I understand that it has to be thoroughly tested against all company applications; but to be honest we don’t have that many and of those I’m pretty sure many actually use Java so it doesn’t have a lot to do with the browser.
