What is changing?
This June the Graduate Admissions Application will no longer support IE7 and IE8 browsers. Microsoft originally announced they would end support for IE7 and IE8 on or before January 2015. However, Microsoft subsequently amended its policy, which can be found here.
Why are we ending support for IE7 and IE8?
As we evaluate which browsers to support, we consider which ones will give our users the best experience and enable us to focus on areas that will add the most value for customers. There are three key reasons that drove this decision:
What does this mean to me?
If you continue to use IE7 and IE8 browsers after 2015, some new and/or existing features and functionality may no longer work in IE7 and IE8 browsers. Bugs or performance issues that appear only when using IE7 and IE8 will not be investigated or fixed by Salesforce after this release.
What will happen if I take no action?
While users may still be able to access the service from IE7 and IE8, new and/or existing features and functionality may no longer work in these browsers. In addition, bugs or performance issues that appear only when using IE7 and IE8 will not be investigated or fixed by Salesforce after this release.
