I received the following disheartening email from the University last night. If you have a real computer (i.e., a Mac), this does not apply to you. It affects only users of MS Windows and Internet Exploder.

Microsoft has released the newest version of their browser, Internet Explorer 8 (IE8). The software is available for download from Microsoft and is scheduled to be distributed via automatic updates to Microsoft customers later this year.
Certain of the University's enterprise services have not been certified for use with IE8 by the companies who provide the software to the University. There is a possibility that some services or features of our core enterprise systems will not work properly with the IE8 browser at this time. The main systems that are awaiting testing and certification from our vendors are:
- my.ucf.edu
- webcourses@UCF
- Groupwise webmail
We recommend that the UCF community use Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 3 until our vendors have had time to test their products and release any necessary updates. In the meantime, please delay upgrading to Internet Explorer 8 until
a notice is sent out announcing that core university systems will work correctly with the new browser version. Thank you.
