Sounds more like microsoft handing out backdoor codes so everyone will update to IE8 so they don't get compatability complaints about the previous versions of IE :p

Finally got my I.T. dept to give me IE8 the other day (because i couldn't view OA properly :) )

Only issue is they didn't upgrade flash or instal the IE8 updates so now my whole computer hangs, grrrrr

@NURB...I tried that...damn IT dept called my bluff...remotly logged into my puter and access the works website worked fine. Said IE6 is old and gay can you update it to IE8, hell I even downloaded the installer from home and uploaded to my desk top all they needed to give me was admin rights for 30 min to install it and all would have been good....but no.
So I went to portableapps.com and downloaded firefox...now I have ff running with flash...just copied to folder to my documents nad have it running off the computer with usb stick...where theres a will there a ways hehe
