| 1142397 | 2010-10-07 08:39:00 | Our school has IE6 *screams in terror*. though some of the pc's have IE7, and if i'm lucky, a few of them have working firefox. | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 1142398 | 2010-10-07 08:40:00 | Some of the computers in the computer lab at my school have Firefox set as default because of students not listening :D Otherwise it's an almost-fully-functioning IE7. |

Oxymoron (dictionary.reference.com). You can't mention IE (any version) in conjunction with the following words: Safe Usable Customisable Functional Good-looking Fast Open standards |

| 1142400 | 2010-10-07 09:02:00 | At my school they used the inbuilt windows thing to limit IE7 so we couldnt use it for much, helpfully they had installed FireFox which wasnt affected by their draconian lockdown. Just go to the advanced->network tab and change the proxy from balblablblah.blah.student.proxy to balblablblah.blah.staff.proxy and get 10MBs up and down |

| 1142401 | 2010-10-07 09:03:00 | Mix of IE8 on all the school PC's here. Although they balance it out by making us do a print design assesment on Corel Draw and Corel Photo Paint 10. Also we use Alice for our programming! Only other assesment during the year is Excel - most of which a 5 year old could learn. FYI - This is at level 3. |

| 1142404 | 2010-10-07 09:22:00 | It's interesting, where I work we're currently doing an ISMS audit, and we're asking ourselves "Do we remove browsers as part of the software clean-up?". In the corporate world, you've gotta remember if there's 500 machines all updating once a month with a 15MB download, that's 7.5GB. What about machines that have more than one browser, such as Firefox and Opera. Suddenly you've doubled that again. With IE, you can push patches centrally through a WSUS server. You *know* if there's vulnerabilities you're exposed to, where as it becomes more difficult to keep track of the vulnerabilities and exploits for half a dozen browsers, each with their own update schedule etc. Then you've got to factor in the whole "Will Site X work with Browser Y?", and you can largely thank IE for that predicament ;) Either way, I'd try for Firefox / Chrome Portable, but as Scouse said, I'd take a few months before telling them how to run the place, unless specifically employed to consult on that particular matter ;) |
