The final release of IE7 is fast approaching … and I mean really fast … and will be delivered to customers via Automatic Updates a few weeks after it’s available for download. Microsoft want to ensure that you are ready and the information below will help get you there.
Compatibility with sites, extensions and applications has been a very high priority for MS as they develop new features, enhance the existing features and move the platform forward to be more secure and standards compliant. Microsoft is continually listening to feedback from our customers, partners and leaders in the industry to resolve major compatibility issues to ensure our common customers have a great experience with IE7. As Microsoft make key improvements in areas such as layout and security, some changes need to be made by site owners to work smoothly with IE7. Microsoft has produced detailed documentation, tools and other resources to assist site, extension and application owners in their testing and development efforts to ensure they are compatible with IE7. Microsoft has also proactively worked with hundreds of companies to resolve issues that were reported through our beta testing to ensure those issues were resolved before IE7 is released.
These efforts have been ongoing since last year and have been extremely successful but MS can’t ensure 100% compatibility without your help. Microsoft need you to test and ensure your sites, extensions, and applications are ready for IE7.
