Why would a co. require IE 7.0 instead of 8.0? - Serious
Posted: May 12, 2010
I got a call today from HR at Sten-Tel (Springfield) saying that they were getting ready to make me an offer. (Would consider taking it on only in addition to what I'm already doing due to hearing issues about lack of work.)
I was, however, told that having Internet Explorer 8.0 was a problem and that I would need to uninstall this version and downgrade to IE 7.0. I've never heard of this before and was wondering why the newer, more current version of IE would be a problem for the company.
Any thoughts?
Webmedx is also like this, beware to anyone applying. - websta
[ In Reply To ..]No IE 8 allowed, not compatible with software.
Do you know how easy it is to downgrade? - Serious
[ In Reply To ..]Any idea whether you can have 2 different versions and choose between them on your desktop, or is this just wishful thinking?
My computer came with version 8.0 installed on it. I wonder how messed up my computer would become if I downgraded to 7/0...any ideas?
May be a problem if you have Windows 7 - Good Luck
[ In Reply To ..]Unfortunately, Microsoft is upgrading their operating system faster than software programs are upgrading theirs (or more probably, the MTSOs do not want to pay for the upgrades as long as they can use the old ones). Kind of like not too many MTSO programs are able to use Windows Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 yet.
We are caught in the middle. In order to buy a new computer, we either have to have it specially made with older versions or hope our employer has a work-around that will allow us to use their antiquated software.
If IE8 came already installed on your computer, you may want to have a professional do it.
Here is what the Microsoft website says:
When you remove Internet Explorer 8, your earlier version of Internet Explorer is restored with your customizations (such as add-ins, Favorites, and your home page). However, Internet Explorer 8 is a part of Windows 7. Therefore, if you remove Internet Explorer 8, you will have to install a third-party browser to be able to browse the Internet.

[ In Reply To ..]I don't know if it is possible to run 2 versions at the same time, you could try it and see. I was thinking that you wanted to remove one and install a different version.
Not everything is compatible, new programs - sm
[ In Reply To ..]have glitches that haven't been worked through yet. Where I work we still use Windows XP, cannot upgrade to Vista or Windows 7. Will cost a lot if I have to get a new computer and have XP loaded on. New ones with XP are almost impossible to find these days.
feel lucky - we have to use IE6! - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I think it is a shame that companies are expected to spend thousands to upgrade every single year.
I certainly understand why they don't, but it still can be frustrating on this end.
I agree - SM - Anonymous
[ In Reply To ..]The reason that companies still use IE 6 and 7 are that there are software compatibility issues with IE8. My employer still uses IE6 and I waited for a long time before I upgraded from IE7 to IE8 on the computer that I have at home for my personal use. However, as someone mentioned, it is easier to downgrade to an earlier version if you need to.

New to Nuance, swallowed up when they acquired my employer at the end of 2013. I see they really expect you to spend a lot of time doing things outside your schedule, training, reading manuals, etc. Other than a flat rate for installing and learning software (20 minutes, actually took twice that), they don't offer to pay for all this extra time. Seems excessive. Has anyone tracked this extra time and filed a complaint with DOL about it? Or tried to clock into W ...
