Office 2007 Former Microsoft execs launch IE 6 mig

A handful of previous Softies who worked on the Microsoft World wide web Explorer team have released a enterprise that's tackling the IE six migration difficulty confronted by numerous companies.The new Redmond, Wash.-based organization, Browsium, released on March fifteen its first product, recognized as UniBrows. UniBrows will allow “legacy IE 6-based Internet applications to run on Windows 7 and IE 8 on Windows XP without modifying a single line of code,” according to the firm;s Internet site.One of the main reasons that a number of companies (in the U.S., at least) are still running IE6 on XP is they;ve built internally-facing applications that are dependent on IE 6. Microsoft has been encouraging customers, even those running on XP, to upgrade to IE 8 — but not IE 9,Microsoft Office Professional 2007, since Microsoft doesn;t support IE 9 on XP. But the upgrade process is difficult and costly. In fact, Gartner analysts dinged Microsoft last year about the cost of its IE 6 migration tools.Browsium is touting UniBrows as a way for organizations to free up their Windows 7 upgrade path. The product makes use of an IE 8 add-on that enables IE 6 internet applications to run in an IE 8 tab, enabling enterprises to upgrade PCs to Windows 7 while keeping their legacy IE 6 applications running unmodified,Office 2007, according to the business.“UniBrows delivers complete IE6 functionality and behaviors by using the original, native IE6 rendering, JavaScript, ActiveX and security design,” organization officials said in today;s press release. Administrators can
create the rules and profiles for specifying which internet applications should use the IE6 browser engine and legacy ActiveX components and which can use the IE 8 ones.Browsium has been testing UniBrows with customers for the past six months, the release added.UniBrows is licensed to organizations with 5,000 to 50,000 PCs with a $5,000 base license fee plus $5 per seat. Licenses,Office Professional 2007, renewable yearly,Windows 7 Download, include all updates and upgrades at no additional cost. Volume discounts are available.
