Hello, Nelson, I would encourage you and anybody else to upgrade to Internet
Explorer 8 from both the perspective of a Web browser user and a software
engineer who develops for the browser platform on a daily basis. Internet
Explorer 8 supports a much broader range of standards compliant (i.e. W3C)
specifications, as well as improved implementations of things like CSS
technology and JavaScript that are so important to today's Web. Also,
internet Explorer 8 provides much improved support for ARIA (Accessible Rich
Internet Application) technology which permits screen reader technologies
like JAWS to access the most interactive appplications being developed for
the Web today. In summary, go for the upgrade as it is a vastly improved
application when compared against its Microsoft Internet Explorer
predecessors!
Kind regards,
Jeff
