Re: IE8 as important update + license terms

For the record, I learned recently that ADP Payroll Services online entry only works with IE. An acquaintance bought a Mac on the assurances of the salesman that ADP would work with Safari only to discover too late that it doesn't. I tried with FF and Chrome, which also do not work. Pretty sad for a company "with 55-plus years of experience" (quote from their website.

Switch! I have been using Chrome and FireFox more lately, trying to wean myself from the bloated IE browser...

I don't use any version of IE anymore. Sometimes my wife does, some of the kids do. At work it's all Firefox, and even though the instructions for signing in remote using Citrix are for IE, Firefox works fine.
You don't often see "Best with IE" anymore, and any company that does that to the public deserves to be ignored, as I have told some of them. /Especially/ taxpayer-funded institutions should accommodate open source software, and more importantly, the /independent/ standards that M$ and other such ilk ignore...

When I installed IE7 (or was it 6?) my HP printer drivers went casters up. Now that could be HPs fault and probably is, but my point is that you're getting more than a browser; you're getting some OS upgrades too.

Why would that "probably" be HP's fault? IMO, the fact that Microsoft historically breaks any number of software applications with each "new OS" or upgrade makes them the more likely culprit.

What are you worried about? Searching for the "best nuclear weapon strike points in Washington DC?"

Walden. If the innocent had nothing to worry about, just by virtue of being innocent, there would be no need for measures like The Bill of Rights, and no need for the "eternal vigilance" that is "the price of liberty". Or do you think they only spy on the guilty?

In things like the subject of this thread, here is where the rubber hits the road. Better some wildfire than no fire at all...
