Launch News - IE7 & WMP 11
Are you ready?
Saturday, October 14, 2006 by Mithun Pal | Discussion: Windows XP
The final release of Internet Explorer 7 is fast approaching … and I mean really fast … probably on October 18th … and will be delivered to customers via Automatic Updates starting November 1st, a few weeks after it’s available for download. Are your Web sites, extensions, and applications ready? Microsoft recommends that Web sites and applications be reviewed and made ready for the release of Internet Explorer 7 this month. Microsoft encourages all Windows XP users to download the new version to explore the browsing experience in Windows Vista and take advantage of the new security features that will help protect them against malicious software and phishing attacks. Windows Media Player 11 will be available via free download beginning October 24 and will enable users to take advantage of an elegant and intuitive user interface, a new level of online store integration, especially with MTV’s URGE service, and improved navigation for larger music libraries.
Help ensure your Web sites, extensions, and applications are compatible with Internet Explorer 7 by testing Internet Explorer 7 today and utilizing the following resources and tools to help you identify and resolve any compatibility issues:
- Install the latest build of Internet Explorer 7
- Prepare your organization using the Internet Explorer 7 Readiness Toolkit
- Ensure browser-based applications are compatible by using Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.0
- Prepare for Internet Explorer 7 to be delivered via Automatic Updates and Windows Update
- If needed, install the Internet Explorer 7 Blocker Toolkit to block automatic delivery
- Use the following additional resources to investigate and resolve compatibility issues:
- Visit MSDN (msdn.microsoft.com/ie) for supporting information
- Visit the IE team blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/) to research, make inquiries, and provide feedback
- Microsoft recommends that enterprises are prepared for automatic delivery by November 1st
