Re: Any problems with IE 8?

["John Taylor" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Typical vendor BS.

We have a few vendors that haven't fixed their sites to work with IE8 in
native mode, but in all cases switching IE8 to compatibility view for those
sites has solved the problem(s). I've yet to run across a site anywhere that
required us to uninstall .NET.

Keep up the pressure on the vendor.
