![]() And abandonment is in the eye of the beholder I guess. Adoption by attrition is the plan as usual. When their computer dies, there will be a new one with Windows 8 waiting for them. They will apparently have the option to use MSIE 10 when it is released, but their value to Microsoft is exactly what it always has been - a large scale beta test force dutifully sending in WER usually without even realizing it. Es handelt sich dabei um das Update KB971930 Update für Internet Explorer 8 Liste Kompatiblitätsansicht für Windows 7 Release Candidate. The home user will get no such TLC because their expenditure came and went when they got their copy at computer purchase. Microsoft hat ein Update für Windows 7 (RC) für den Internet Explorer 8 veröffentlicht, mit dem sich die Darstellung von älteren Websites im Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) verbessert. If they lose corporate it is all over but the shouting. If MSIE 10 was completely banned from Windows 7 they just might force the hand of corporate decision makers enough to consider the nuclear option of Apple, Linux, even Android. So offering them support for MSIE will convince some of the bean-counters planning no move to 8, that staying on 7 is a sounder and cheaper idea than the riskier move of leaving the Windows platform altogether. IMHO they are trying to salvage this broad customer group from considering jumping ship off Windows when their various agreements expire because they are unlikely to move to Windows 8 for a very long time. Also, they probably want to avoid re-creating the situation with lingering MSIE 6 ( or 7 and 8 ) on countless Windows XP computers which does not help their future MSIE 10 usage statistics.įurthermore, MSIE is often of some actual value to corporate, whereas Direct-X and Service Packs in most scenarios are not. There is no downside for Microsoft to allow MSIE 10 on Windows 7, whereas Direct-X and Service Packs can increase the computer useful lifetime to the home user. Shows MS won't abandon it as soon as paranoid people thought
