Even so, I didn't see that one coming.

rglover · 05-03-2008, 21:14

at Roto.

Yeah, still not too happy about that. If you cannot tell.

pgo · 05-03-2008, 21:55

Awesome. Downloading now.

Any chance for simultaneous use of IE7 and IE8?

IMO, the safest way is having each on its own machine.

Does Css work okay on it?

d3mcfadden · 07-03-2008, 11:11

So this means we can stop supporting IE 6 right???

ahh that would be the day

seen.to · 07-03-2008, 11:31

Now where the fuck am I going to put a third PC/monitor!

Since this will only work on XP+ it looks like IE6 will be around for a long long time to come, and the majority of people that have bought PCs since Vista's launch, (and from now until IE8 proper), will most likely stick with IE7, I personally see this as more pain than pleasure. The joys of supporting 3 versions of IE are soon to return.

I think microsoft should do us all a favour and automatically upgrade everyone using IE6 to IE7...at least we only have one piece of shit to deal with then.

I'd say Micronoft don't exactly help the situation by presuming people will update their software often..

RaelRode · 09-03-2008, 09:25

Microsoft don't help full stop.

They do, just the tight bastards that don't pay for a legal copy of Windows don't get the updates automatically.

RaelRode · 09-03-2008, 11:14

I'm one of those tight bastards, when I'm on XP, I get updates frequently.
