So I was just reading about the automatic updates over at PC World.
I can understand if IE7 has some new bells & whistles that don't work in older browsers, that's just the nature of the beast. But why in the world would they not make it backwards compatible? A site that works in IE6 should not "break" in IE7.
Does anyone know what these potential incompatibilities with existing sites might be?Businesses need the time to set companywide policies for browser deployment and possibly recode any intranet sites that are not compatible with the new version of the browser. Similarly, public Web sites need the extra time to ensure that their sites are compatible, Gralla says.
