[OPLINTECH] IE 8 for public computers?

[Phil Shirley]

Would you put IE 8 on public computers now, or stick with IE 7?  It 
looks like IE 8's Compatibility View feature is supposed to be able to 
deal with all kinds of things, but I'm not sure how well it will work. 
What concerns me most is web sites that require IE; we'll have the 
latest version of Firefox as an alternative that should display most 
things well, but it would stink if a site required IE but didn't work 
properly with IE8.  I'm not finding anything that mentions any sites 
failing to work with IE8.

This would be a good time for us to put out 8 because we're going to be 
putting out new public computers.  I'd like to give patrons the latest 
software, but I don't want people go go away frustrated because 
something didn't work on our brand new computers.

Thanks.

Phil
