And they're such a delightful company to deal with.

The number of peole that I've heard iof that have brought a new computer mainly windows PC of teh low end type tend to expect not to have to by new apps when they 'upgrade' . > and some games and whatnot that attempt to circumvent the OS for hardware > access break, but the main problem that is encountered with older software > is that Vista and Windows 7 have the security locked down by default, so > you have to tweak the security settings and possibly provide user access > to specific files or folders to get them to work--the developers have > known this was coming for at least 15 years and have chosen to dump > everything into a system folder anyway. Doesn't help the average computer user who just wants to write a few letters, print the odd few pictures that they have done with their 10 year old system.

Not here it seems, There are problems with the way IE8 does certain things but you'd need to talk to peole that do deveolpment work. > I think the current versions of Word and PowerPoint can read the older > versions, and at least back to Office 2000 (ten years old software) you > can read the current versions of the files (one-time install required). > Certainly works fine here.

I workm in a universitiy in a computer/electronics dept, and we're as yet not supporting IE8.

One of the problems is you get one person updating to the lasted product and then others can't read it or there are errors. So the answer is to upgrade everyone. Easy at home with 3 computers but running a lab with anything from a dozen to 100s PC. Also remember when teaching everything has to be pretty much the same.

It hasn't been a problem with some of the oddball technology that's used on campus.

Yep/no, it 'll probably would be OK if only Microsoft software was used but we have linix various flavours and Macs and PC and all sorts of other tech, expecting student to have the same experience on each for teaching purpose isn't always easy. In my lab of 36 PCs Opera seems to be the default. |
