So it wasn’t many hours into using the new Beta release of Internet Explorer 9 that I discovered it doesn’t work with one of Microsoft’s flagship applications: CRM release 4. Basically, CRM4 implements with heavy use of Javascript, and IE9′s Javascript engine just doesn’t work with it. So Microsoft – this is a pretty major fail! It’s hard to believe that their Alpha testing didn’t pick up on something so major. Indeed I was convinced it must be something I was doing wrong. But the forums are flooded with people registering the same errors.
I’ve backed out to IE8 for my business work because CRM is a core critical app for me. For personal browsing – Google Chrome is my choice.
Overall, IE9, when fixed, looks like it will be a big jump forward for Microsoft and puts it at the head of the class of browsers.
