![]() I know you can use group policy to block users from using IE. There are plenty of users out there that absolutely need to run Internet Explorer because they need to access some stupid poorly developed website with some stupid ActiveX plugin running on the browser just to get their job done. I wouldn't concern youse,f about IE when Mozilla and Google Chrome are great alternatives.Īlthough I agree, in some situations, running IE is unavoidable. One thing to remember (and this can be handy in helping "push" companies to upgrade that don't want to), is that if they deal with any sort of credit card payments then they likely need to be PCI Compliant, which after april next year won't be possible if they have any remaining XP systems as running an out of support OS will result in an instant fail of any PCI assessment, which if caught can result in big six figure fines and the potential loss of the ability to take card payments (potential business killer here!). So if IE8 continues to get patched on Windows XP systems, maybe April won't be quite as bad as it sounds. I figure IE vulnerabilities tend to be more severe and more exploited than the vulnerabilities at the OS level. It's not that which I'm concerned about, I'm worried about clients who seemed determined to go full steam ahead off the Windows XP cliff. At least if they keep the support going people can continue as normal for now, if not could the IE applications could possible be run in 9 or 10 in compatibility mode to try mimic IE8 as best as possible.
