IE 7 Cautionary Tale
Published December 6th, 2006 in All Categories, Internet Explorer 7
One of my sisters works for a computer training company that is quite excited about what Windows 
Vista means for business. Internet Explorer 7 is another matter.
When Microsoft released IE 7, her company sent around a terse memo warning employees not to download the software. Apparently there is a major incompatibility with Microsoft’s browser and the older version of Intuit QuickBooks that the training vendor uses.
This afternoon, my sister asked me, "What’s up with Internet Explorer? What is Microsoft thinking?"
Last week, her company set up a new office in Egypt, which didn’t get that don’t download IE 7 memo. No sooner had the company’s IT administrator returned to the United States, IE 7 dropped like an atomic bomb on the new office. During the first day, all users received notice of updates from Windows XP’s Automatic Update feature. Top of list: IE 7. Microsoft Watch - Web Services & Browser - IE 7 Cautionary Tale
