Say no to Windows IE 8 Oracle Apps developers/consultants

Update: Oracle EBS 11i and R12 are now certified with IE8 and Firefox 3.5. Moreover EBS is certified to work on Windows 7 OS. Ask your DBA to follow the this blog entry for more.

Beware Oracle Apps Consultant/Developers, Windows Internet Explorer 8 is not yet compatible with Oracle E-Business Suite. If you are an Vista user, there are high chances that IE 8 will get installed automatically, so as the saying goes, "Prevention is better than cure".

So you asking can we prevent IE8 from getting installed? Yes, it is absolutely possible. Just visit this site and install the IE8 installation blocker. This would prevent your machine (automatic updates) from automatically installing Windows Internet Explorer 8.

Enjoy!
