What a ridiculous law that prevents a company including useful content. It isn't as though IE prevents anyone from using another browser and you can always remove it.

The EU sucks. We should abolish it and let the world be run properly by Microsoft and Tesco.

They can't ship a browser in Europe with the OS, unless they want a $1bn fine.

Re-read the post. It's whoever headlined the article that's the cretin. The "oops" in the original posting should have made that clear to anyone with an intellect slightly more marginal that that of a concussed bee.

So, yah-boo sucks to you.

Re IE8, delighted to see it was not just me caught out by finding script errors thrown up by my CDs.

Today Abbey was reporting it as an unsupported browser. The HMRC help links all had script errors when I filled in my CT form yesterday and RBSWorldpay technical support email page ditto. Several blogs are not working, not due to errors specific to them but to commonly used features. (Not sure what but Widget manager I suspect from brief check)
