Working OK at work now too. Not that I’m using the internet at work or anything. Ahem.

Oh, sure. This is why, when designing for a client, I’d always make sure it was IE6-compatible. What I meant was that, purely for my own site, I just can’t be bloody bothered with it any more. Selfish, but hey, it’s mine.

>SP2 of XP to run IE7

It’s been said before, but of course from a corporate point of view there isn’t really a compelling need to upgrade from 2K to XP at all – so my company among others still has most of it’s installed base on 2K.

Yes, my company still have IE6 as their default browser. Largely because you need SP2 of XP to run IE7, something which hasn’t yet been deployed across my workplace.

Good point, Mr TM. That’s largely why old netscapes and IEs are regular visitors to the server logs.

>reminding everyone that the upgrade’s free.

of course, but IT projects to upgrade every machine in a reasonably sized company are not – so I will be stuck with it at work for some time I’m afraid.

When I eventually get around to redesigning my site, I am sorely tempted to not bother with IE6 at all. Just stick a footnote on the front page reminding everyone that the upgrade’s free.

Looks positively spiffing under IE7 and FF2 on Vista. Although I think it was ok on both of them before the change. I’ll go away again now.

This thread isn’t doing it on firefox on the mac but I’ll have to wait till I’m back at work to check.

Hmmm, I can see that it’s not.

Thinking cap back on….
