INTERNET EXPLORER 9 (Beta) *****WARNING****

October 07, 2010 11:14PM
WARNING TO ALL SHOPPERS
INTERNET EXPLORER version 9 beta for WINDOWS VISTA is not input friendly. It treats the various pop ups and links as “Potentially dangerous,” on several of the MSP websites.
I strongly recommend that you do not upgrade, until these challenges are corrected. I have had to add 5 to 10 extra steps to upload every scan or receipt. Also it takes up to three minutes for it to allow viewing of .pdf and MSWord format job instructions and guidelines.
I had an audit with twenty pictures to upload, it took over two hours to upload and input versus the same audit last week at 25 minutes.
I have sent Microsoft the feedback, but since the program is still beta, it may take some time before a “fix” is available.

OUCH!! Luckily with the exception of one website I do everything with Firefox. I do, however have personal gmail open in a Firefox window and business gmail open in an IE window. It may be worthwhile to switch the two since it is more important to have rapid response with the business gmails.

Try google chrome. It is faster and more secure than either IE or Firefox.

I recently switched to Google Chrome and love it. It is faster and I even transferred all my FF bookmarks over with no problem. I don't like IE as it crashes too much for my taste.

I guess most are not getting the message of my post.

If for some reason you get a message that you can try Internet Explorer Version 9 Beta do not accept the download. This is NOT a final product, it has too many issues.

Keep your current Internet Explorer 8. Do not upgrade at this time.

Or if for some reason you hate Microsoft. Join the haters club above this post and get rid of Internet Explorer completly.
