Microsoft to Force IE7 Update on February 12th

[JamesC]

No, what you've done there is mistaken giving users' browser choice with them being 'confused'. Easy mistake to make

 

I read this sentence to myself 3 times, I still don't understand what ur saying.

IE7 will support most of them but you can just upgrade the ADM files to the IE7 versions and then you will have even more options to lock down IE.

Is there anywhere that lists what extra options are included in the new ADM files? Is there anything that really needs to be configured or can I continue using the policies I have for IE6?

Great for you, I cant see any of my 1200 users being bothered to learn how to navigate with a new browser

 

There are plenty of firefox themes to make intergrate better with what users expect/want. I, for example, use the Outlook 2003 Blue theme.
