Re: Profits of IE 7.0 to 8.0 update if usage for adminstrative tasks only
You already have IE8 installed on Win7 (unless you are in the EU? domain.co
uk?)
I am erring and not recommending an IE update for XP (especially single core
processors) because of performance issues, but if you are not web surfing
then security and improved performance may not be your main criteria).
It sounds like you are a network administrator and are talking about
updating machines on your network? - no Internet Access? so long as you have
no gateways at all and all your domains are in the intranet zone there
really no benefit in IE8. Most of your Intranet Markup is probably
non-standard and is rendered in IE8 in Quirks mode anyway.
Some remote desktop applications are incompatible with IE8.
Public Access computer at your workplace. You should upgrade to IE8 on any
public access machines (some banks here are doing this to allow safe online
banking facilities for their employees) that you do not lock-down with kiosk
mode, but you should also apply GP restrictions to add additional security
and prevent users from changing IE's settings.
