Microsoft Office 2010 Former Microsoft execs launc

A handful of former Softies who worked within the Microsoft Web Explorer crew have launched a firm that is tackling the IE six migration problem faced by a large number of businesses.
The new Redmond,Office 2010 Download, Wash.-based company, Browsium, launched on March 15 its 1st product, recognized as UniBrows. UniBrows will enable “legacy IE 6-based Net applications to run on Windows 7 and IE 8 on Windows XP without modifying a single line of code,” according to the company’s Internet site.
One of the main reasons that a great 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 six. Microsoft has been encouraging customers, even those running on XP, to upgrade to IE 8 — but not IE 9, since Microsoft doesn’t support IE 9 on XP. But the upgrade process is difficult and costly. In fact,Microsoft Office 2007 Product Key, Gartner analysts dinged Microsoft last year on the cost of its IE six 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 web applications to run in an IE 8 tab,Microsoft Office 2010, enabling enterprises to upgrade PCs to Windows 7 while keeping their legacy IE 6 applications running unmodified, according to the corporation.
“UniBrows delivers complete IE6 functionality and behaviors by using the original, native IE6 rendering, JavaScript, ActiveX and security design,” firm officials said in today’s press release. Administrators can
create the rules and profiles for specifying which net 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,Office 2010 Product Key, the release added.
