From: Roy on 3 Jan 2010 23:33 Hello group Some applications that access through the browser gave me a notice that I have to update to higher version of IE , ex. IE8. I am currently using IE6 in a WinXPSP3 platform Does it mean that IE6 will disappear soon? What will really happen? What is really the main issue why some softwares will provide such notification? And supposing this browser will be removed or made redundant would the current version o IE8 is already bug free that it can be better replacement? TIA Roy

You "have to" upgrade or the applications/sites recommend upgrading? While both IE7 and IE8 offer far better security than IE6, the latter will continue to be supported in WinXP SP3 well into 2014, Roy. Those with IE7- and/or IE8-specific questions or comments can post to and seek support in IE General newsgroup: microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general On the web: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general In your newsreader: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 www.banthecheck.com Roy wrote: > Hello group > Some applications that access through the browser gave me a notice > that I have to update to higher version of IE , ex.
