![]() I mentioned HIPAA above and linked to a post that argues for the presence of Windows XP as an automatic HIPAA violation.Press Release: Support for Windows XP and Internet Explorer 8 We know that it won’t go away completely, but it’s still being celebrated at sites like. With the demise of Windows XP (even though we know it’s not suddenly gone today), Internet Explorer 6 is also at its end of life (because no supported platform can run it). In short, as web developers, we can expect to support IE8 for a while still. In short, this is a great band-aid for organizations that already have Windows 7 or 8.1, but won’t be helping to push IE8 out of the way ( despite the best efforts of some). In addition to the links above, you can get more information from the video of Microsoft’s Enterprise Mode presentation, or you can just view the presentation slides alone. Hopefully this will help speed users to upgrade to IE11, even if it doesn’t provide motivation for organizations to upgrade their legacy IE8 applications. Microsoft has been testing this in many industries and countries (though not China, the biggest culprit for old, and illegal, versions of Windows). If an IT department deems it appropriate, it can also allows end users to decide to enable Enterprise Mode on a site-by-site basis. Intranets and custom-built un-maintained web-based applications are an easy fit here. Some web developers have panicked that now they’ll have to support another browser or browser mode, but so far the evidence doesn’t bear that out.Įnterprise Mode will be controlled by a central source, most likely corporate IT departments, and will only be enabled for sites that have been manually identified.
