Microsoft has released two new updates for Internet Explorer
8 on Windows 7 RC, via Windows Update.
The
first update applies only to Windows 7 RC, and will be fixed
in the Windows 7 RTM. The first issue resolved is one which, according
to the Microsoft Support site, caused the browser to hang, and show
this error message:
A webpage is not responding on the following
website: (Website name)". The update for this issue requires the
browser to restart before it can be applied. The
second update is an update for the Compatibility view list,
which, in Microsoft's very own words 'makes Web sites that are designed
for older browsers look better in Internet Explorer 8. When you install
Internet Explorer 8, you can decide whether the sites that you visit
should be displayed in Compatibility View'. Users may or may not have
to restart their browser for this update. The updates are delivered by
Windows Update, so performing an update search should install them, if
they aren't installed automatically.
