Transcripción del chat: Internet Explorer (October 12, 2006)

La gente de IEBlog se ha marcado la gentileza de dar formato legible al chat del que hablábamos el otro día, que se iba a celebrar antes de la inminente liberación de Internet Explorer 7.

Pues bien, una vez celebrado el mismo, podemos acceder a una trancripción fantástica, absolutamente legible, que es casi como haber asistido.

Internet Explorer (October 12, 2006)

Este tipo de iniciativas me parecen extraordinarias, buenas para la comunidad, y de las que estoy seguro, las mentes avispadas sabrán sacar conclusiones.

Algunas cosas que me han llamado la atención:

Sobre la posibilidad de impedir la actualización automática.

Patrick [MSFT] (Expert):
Q: How do I prevent Windows Update / Microsoft Update from automatically installing IE 7 on my users system, it breaks many of our partner companies sites? (From the chat around the net it will be pushed out via the automatic system)
A: There is a blocker tool that allows you to block the automatic update.

Sobre la fecha final de lanzamiento:

Tony Chor [MS] (Expert):
Q: Can you confirm the rumours stating that IE7 will be released on the 18th of October?
A: There are a lot of questions surrounding the final release date and the rumors about when we’re going to release. As we’ve stated on the blog, we plan to ship before the end of the month. It will go up on the Download Center first (and will always be available there). A few weeks after release, we’ll start sending IE7 out over AU as well. If you want to block the AU deployment for your company, we strongly recommend having the blocker tool in place by November 1.

Sobre si tendremos sorpresas de última hora:

Jane [MSFT| (Expert):
Q: Can developers and end users expect any additional last minute functionality or further improvements in IE7 final?
A: We have made a few changes since RC1 so you will see improvements in IE7 final.

¿Y para Mac?

Tony Chor [MS] (Expert):
Q: Any plans in the future to resume development of Internet Explorer for Apple Mac?
A: We don’t currently have plans to resume development of Mac IE.

Sobre si existirá la posibilidad de correr dos versiones simultáneas, y distintas, de IE:

Dave Massy (Moderator):
Q: Is it possible to install IE7 alongside IE6? This would help with supporting legacy application that wouldn’t work with IE7 (yet), while the bugs are getting fixed…
A: Hi. Virtual PC is now free and will allow you to run different versions of Windows with different versions of IE on the same machine at the same time.

Sobre el soporte para Windows 2000:

EricLaw[MSFT] (Expert):
Q: is ie7 compatible with win 2000?
A: No. IE7 relies on APIs and features available in XP and later.

Versiones localizadas:

Sean [MS] (Expert):
Q: Hey what is the date for IE7 RTM in hebrew?
A: We’ll announce the dates for localized versions of IE once we announce the final RTM date.

Y también:

Tony Chor [MS] (Expert):
Q: When ie7 final in italian?
A: we’ll have all of localized versions out within a few months of initial release. They will come in sets every few weeks.

Y de SVG, ¿qué?:

Dave Massy (Moderator):
Q: Is SVG support going to be added?
A: we’re looking at it for a future release.
