Just a heads-up to everyone. I discovered by accident that if you add a favorite (bookmark a page) in IE version 7, it will add every page for every tab you have open. So if you have ten tabs open, and you want to add the mac and cheese recipe page to your favorites, the nine other pages will also save to the same folder.
I think Douglas Adams said it best:
Just a heads up to our company: IE 7 is not guaranteed to work with the new Oracle systems we are implementing, but the new machines are shipping with Vista which won’t work with IE 6. We’re potentially quite screwed.
Notice to** gigi**'s company (not gigi her(?)self) and a few thousand others who make web-only or “Web 2.0” products that don’t work with IE7/Vista/Safari/FireFox:
Betas of IE7/Vista have been available for more than a year. Microsoft announced them more than two years ago. Practically all of Microsoft’s developer products have covered only Vista/IE7 for months. There are millions of people who potentially want to PAY YOU MONEY, but use a Mac (or use FireFox instead of IE).
More importantly, the procedures for writing web apps that will work EVERYWHERE have been published and used for almost a decade now. Your competitors read them, and now they’re the ones getting money from your former customers. If the words “ActiveX Control” or “Windows DRM” mean anything to you…they shouldn’t.
What part of “this is your bottom line we’re talking about” don’t you understand?
Oh no, and we’re the end user of the Oracle Apps being installed. We’re worried that our users will buy machines with Vista/IE 7 and then not be able to use the functionality we’re training them on.
But it looks like Oracle is addressing some of the issues in their white papers so we shall see. It will probably be an issue of training on browser settings which may or may not stick with people.
