Microsoft IE8 NOT Ready for Oracle E-business Suite

As Steven Chan recently posted on his blog, Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 is not yet certified for oracle E-business Suite 11i or 12. 

Organizations using Oracle E-business Suite should block users from downloading and using Microsoft IE8 until the issues have been worked out by Oracle.

IE8 will be available via Automatic Update, Windows Update and Microsoft Update and rolled out by platform. 

Microsoft has announced that they've made the IE8 Blocker Toolkit available to desktop administrators.  The IE8 Blocker Toolkit allows desktop administrators to prevent end-users from being automatically upgraded to IE8.  For full details, see:
