Come on, you know better than this. Microsoft has given everyone good reason to be skeptical of every other Windows version. XP? Solid. Vista? Nope. 7? Solid. 8

- scholia 13y agoHe's referring to the out-of-date and inferior version of Internet Explorer (hence his use of caps). They could have installed IE10 or IE11 -- which are good. I can't think of a good reason for installing IE9, though maybe someone will come up with one...
- wvenable 13y agoSome of our internal corporate apps require IE9 as IE10 presents compatibility issues. I'm not at all surprised that it IE9 is part of the baseline.
- scholia 13y agoAh, thanks for the correction. I'd hoped we had finally got beyond "only works in IEx". Presumably it's upgradeable...
- daigoba66 13y agoI'm genuinely curious how this app that works with IE9 can't work in IE10. From my experience, Microsoft has put a lot of effort into making IE backwards compatible. You might have to force IE into a specific mode, but I can't imagine an app for IE9 not working at all in IE10.
- wvenable 13y agoWe've been in the tough situation where some business/banking websites only worked in IE9 while others that we were having trouble with only started working properly in IE10. Ultimately we rolled back to IE9 because the former out numbered the latter and because IE9 is still the standard version of our corporate image. IE10 snuck onto a few servers and unrestricted desktops because it was installed silently through Windows Update along with the normal patches. That did give us the unexpected opportunity to test it out with real users.
