Microsoft: IE 8 to be IT-Friendly
June 13, 2008
With Web browsers taking a central role in the work lives of more employees as software-as-a-service explodes and workers look to the Web for customers and research,Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) plans to make Internet Explorer 8 even more IT friendly than previous versions.IE8, due out by the end of the year, will add a number of features for IT departments beyond those already offered in IE7 and before. For example, Microsoft will make it easier to include IE8 in Windows Vista installations (it’s unclear if XP is part of the equation), so IE8 is an automatic part of operating system configurations. Microsoft estimates the time to do this will decrease from 2 hours to 10 to 15 minutes per each configuration with IE8.
