Microsoft aims to make IE8 IT-friendly
InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft revealed this week new details of its forthcoming Internet Explorer 8, including several capabilities designed especially for IT shops.
The new features will include a function that enables administrators to slipstream IE8 into Windows Vista installations, new Group Policy settings to help them deal with application compatibility problems, and security modifications that let users install some browser add-ins without having to contact an administrator.
Wednesday's disclosures were made jointly in a posting on the company's IEBlog as well as to attendees at Microsoft's Tech-Ed for IT Professionals conference in Orlando, Fla.
