    Ships Windows 7 you cretin, not IE7.

    They can't ship a browser in Europe with the OS, unless they want a $1bn fine.

          Re IE8, delighted to see it was not just me caught out by finding script errors thrown up by my CDs.

          Today Abbey was reporting it as an unsupported browser. The HMRC help links all had script errors when I filled in my CT form yesterday and RBSWorldpay technical support email page ditto. Several blogs are not working, not due to errors specific to them but to commonly used features. (Not sure what but Widget manager I suspect from brief check)

            Re-read the post. It's whoever headlined the article that's the cretin. The "oops" in the original posting should have made that clear to anyone with an intellect slightly more marginal that that of a concussed bee.

            So, yah-boo sucks to you.

              What a ridiculous law that prevents a company including useful content. It isn't as though IE prevents anyone from using another browser and you can always remove it.

              The EU sucks. We should abolish it and let the world be run properly by Microsoft and Tesco.

                So when you do a fresh install of Windows 7 how do you get online to install say Firefox? I suppose you have access to Windows updates that will offer you IE8.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
