Instances of Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) and IE7 will be upgraded to IE8 on April 1. For campus computers who use K-State’s central Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), this update will be pushed out automatically. System administrators managing their own WSUS environment or using some other way to manage application updates on Windows computers are urged to do the same.
IE8 provides enhanced security that makes it a safer browser to use in addition to other features. Note: IE8 will look different from IE6 and IE7 and take some getting used to. To learn more about the reasons for this upgrade, read the Feb. 23 article in InfoTech Tuesday .
If you have questions or concerns about moving to IE8, contact your IT support person or the IT Help Desk, helpdesk@k-state.edu, 785-532-7722.
