Default Convert laptop to Windows 7

Actually I've found that even IE 8 has difficulty with a lot of sites
today - it's essentially useless. So basically a Windows XP user has no
choice but to use something like Firefox or Chrome, and even then, the
compatible browser versions are limited.


IE 8 (and below) are missing some of the important JavaScript functions,
including for events, which could explain how so much doesn't work in
IE 8 even though it does in other browsers.

Even the first version of Firefox (.8, earlier ones were called
something else) supports this stuff better than IE 8.

My website does have some special code only for IE versions 5 - 8, that
does the more important things. No other browsers (even Opera 7) need it.
