Orange UK exiles Firefox from call centres

Think that's bad?

Bank of Ireland were using IE 5.5 internally until 6 months ago. Might still be for all I know...

I fail to see how all these corporations have managed to build web-based systems which are so reliant on a specific browser? Our internal system has well over 2,000 users on IE6, 7 or 8 and Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and a host of others. We've never had any issues...

Microsoft to bomb Europe with IE-free Windows 7

No browser to download a browser?

So, if I want to get onto the internet using a Euro version of Windows 7, I just need to browse onto the internet and download IE8... With what?!

Isn't Win7 just going to have an "internet access wizard" which will suggest downloading IE8 as soon as I load it up anyway? If not, God help the IT illiterate trying to get onto the web with their new PC and new O/S.
