Just saw this on Digg.

I have not learned everything involved with this but as far as I can tell, If you have any flash used on your website you will have to fix your site so IE users will be able to view your web site.

Here is what I saw on DIGG....

"According to information reaching eWEEK, Microsoft announced plans during a conference call on March 28 wherein Redmond officials reiterated the need for Web pages to be completely re-authored to avoid possible disruptions as a result of major changes to IE 7 as a result of a patent dispute"

Also, I found a great link (Blog) that explains whats up and how to fix your site.

IE??? What's that??? Ohhh, I know... It stands for Infernal Errors! <img>

cool, it looks like even more people will be joining our FF camp....lol

lol. yup. unfortunately 55% of users still use IE.

not if I can help it!....lol
look at the footer <img>

lol. Nice touch. I like it!

On the KISS demo site I ask people to use Firefox as I don't have the time to fix IE errors. I spent two days modifying template to work in IE and now they are going to screw things up again by introducing a new versionà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦
It may be true that IE currently holds 60% of the market share but I reckon 80% of that 60% are under 10 years old <img>

PS I downloaded the demo version of IE7 but it failed to install reporting is could not install on my OSà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ I use WINDOWS 2000 go figureà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

I have no choice but to fix these issues on clients websites however I always recommend firefox and my own personal sites shall be staying as they are.

Hopefully these error on microsofts part will lead to a huge increase in FF users. Every community out there should be doing their part to recommend firefox and rid this world of the digital bug they refer to as IE.

I agree I was talking to my son and his scool and infact all the schools here have a deal that they have to use microsoft...so yes it doesnt surprise me that the majority of users are school kids...

Imagine the figures in the US with schools using the software there ......they are never going to show correct stats....

I have been using FF since it first started and always will...

I was asked recently to do some work at daughters school, basically install new print server and make sense of their school network.

I installed Firefox and set it as primary browser.

The headmaster there has since commented that he has no clue how to change it back to explorer or even where the explorer icons all went (removed from desktop). I was about to tell him when he said:
"no dont tell me, its better to be dumb with a decent browser than know how to get explorer back and get in trouble for not doign so"

Made me laugh.

Color me naà¯ve, but wouldn't all this be a whole lot less painful for everyone ifà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦oh, I don't knowà¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦IE7 adhered to standards?! <img>

By the way, this has to do with the way that IE handles ActiveX controls and embedded files (such as Flash files and audio files) on a web page. Unless there is something new that I'm unaware of.

And yes, it would be nice if Microsoft adhered to standards. Of course, this is Microsoft we're talking about here. <img>

Yeah, I know. Wishful thinking never did anyone any good.

Microsoft has never adhered to standards. They feel they ARE the standard. They have whole teams devoted to squashing better ideas. Case in point Direct-X It was a dismal api, but it was thiers. Did they conform to the vastly superiour OpenGL? No they strongarmed and intimidated every game programmer and video card maker, to primarily support DX. I could go on and on about MS. I live 20 miles from thier Redmond Campus, I have built thier buildings, and friends of mine have been afilliated with Mr Gates, since he stole his first idea (dos) I have no respect for them and I seriously doubt it ever crossed their minds to conform

Oh, I'm well aware. Their unofficial motto: "with money like ours, who cares what anyone else says?"
