Hang on! I'm being nagged by Windows update to put on IE 8 and you're saying IE 9 is out!!!McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

Alternatively,"I suggest we set up a test project to assess the suitability of this product for supporting mission critical applications. It's a strategic issue and I would be very happy to organise a professional test team to help you with this bla bla bla give me some money and I'll find out if it's any good"
"What we've got at the moment works ok, so there's no need to mess around with unnecessary testing for something we don't need to use. If and when we need to migrate, other people would have tested by then and the service packs will be out, so we can just deploy anyway. All of which saves hassle and money !"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

The guy who thinks he's my boss just asked me for advice, and boy did I have to BS for Britain
There is a 'compatibility' mode button just to the right of the URL box which can be used to remedy this.
A good example is the national statistics website. (Although I've not actually tried it with IE7). Chrome displays it fine.Comment

I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this
