I have two magento eshops that worked perfectly in the past on all major browsers except IE 7.
After I installed WINDOWS XP on my computer and accessed my eshops with IE 8, I almost had a heartattack seeing that they aren't working as they should.
Before installing Windows XP I was running Windows 7 and the websites were looking good on IE 8. Now, the same IE version, but on different operating systems, gives me headaches!
Now, can someone explain me how to 'debug' the ie 8 parsing engine for seeing the errors and try to modify the templates?
Thanks.

Could anyone please detail the difference between IE 11 on windows 7 and IE 11 on windows 10.
My organization has done lot of testing while moving from IE 8 to IE 11 on windows 7 and now they want to upgrade to windows 10.
However before moving to Win 10, they want to be sure that IE11 on Win 10 is exactly same as IE 11 on Windows 7.
I am not able to find any article on Microsoft website, which explains it.
Thanks in Advance.

I would imagine they render the page in the same way (CSS etc.) but there are some security changes.
On Windows 8 and later IE can run in a AppContainer sandbox. Enhanced Protected Mode can cause issues with 3rd-party browser extensions and local files. EPM is optional and can be turned on/off.
There are also changes at the network level and backend storage.
If you rely on 3rd-party extensions or local file/localhost access you might want to do some testing before migrating, if not then I don't see any real showstoppers.
I noticed another change. IE in Windows 10 supports Math.sign and other operations.
Windows 7's doesn't.
I noted this particular difference concerning the HTTP header Content-Disposition for file downloads.
Java example to instruct the browser to use fileName as its local file name:
String fileName="TheFileNameIWant.xyz";
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + fileName + "\"";
IE 11 on Win 7 ignores the file name from Content-Dispsition and proposes part of the download URL instead (looks strange)
IE11 on Win 10 proposes the desired file name (as other browsers do)
However I found out that the behaviour varies across IE 11 browser versions.
It fails as described above on version 11.0.9600.18893 (IE and Win7 both 64 Bit) but works with version 11.0.9600.17691 (IE and Win 7 both 64Bit).
Found some differences between IE11 on Windows 10 and 8.1
Website works fine on 10, but not 8.1. Look like being something to do with the type of object returned by jQuery.ajax parsing JSON.
We use babel, which polyfills array.entries(), but the (from JSON) object doesn't have it.
Does anyone know if Siebel 7.8 is supported on IE10 and above? One application is about to be sunset, but will continue for a few months, but the desktops will be upgraded to Windows 8.
Any link to sources from Oracle for supporting or not supporting IE10 will be appreciated, since the official docs (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11886_01/siebel/books/SRSP78/SRSP78.pdf) do not talk about Windows 8 support
The last supported platform for High Interactivity mode is Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8 (that is mentioned in document you are linked to the question). As far as I know there is no option to use Windows 8 with IE8, so the plain answer is: no, you cannot use it to access Siebel applications. Still if you find a way to install IE8 there is a little chance that it will work. Consider using some type of virtualization (Windows 8 Pro includes HyperX VM software) or any other methods.
I have a application developed in Delphi 6, it works very good on Windows XP. Most of the controls are custom drawn to show gradients. Recently, I have deployed the application on Windows 7, after which all the windows are shown very slow. I have compared the same with the XP system.
Do i need to handle anything extra for running on Windows 7? With lot of pain, i have compiled the same application in Delphi XE, but still the application behavior is same. The windows were all opening very slow.
I have enabled the run time themes, disabled the custom drawing, but it did not have any impact.
Please help.
You should try to use a profiler with XP and with Seven and so you will see where the code is slowing.
There have been significant changes in GDI with the introduction of Vista: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ff729480(v=vs.85).aspx.
love sifr - use it all the time...
but i've noticed that it does not replace text in IE 8 64bit version...
works fine in regular IE 8 on windows 7, but not the 64bit version...
for a test, anyone viewing this on a 64bit windows machine please take a look at the demo itself in IE 64bit:
http://dev.novemberborn.net/sifr3/svn/test/distribution/demo
no replacements?
dunno about other versions of IE nor do i know about 64bit vista... this should be looked into as windows7 gains popularity and replaces the rest of the windows OS'...
hoping someone has an answer as this great script is essential to our designs...
thanks!

I have a need to run IE6 on my Vista machine that natively runs IE7.
Can someone please help me with set-up / configuration steps?
Thanks,

Take a look at IETester -- it allows you to test pages in IE 5.5 - 8b2.
Try ie6eolas_nt.zip from http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/standalone . I use it on XP; haven't tried Vista.
Just use http://www.xenocode.com/browsers/
You can run older version of IE in Vista and Windows 7 :)
If you have IE7 installed, using Multiple IE's will let you install past versions without any conflicts.
Multiple IE does not work on Vista, you are stuck using a VM of sorts for full IE support. This is critical if you need to test your javascript or debug through CSS.
I managed to use AndLinux + Wine to get this working, but honestly I think the VMWare/Virtual PC/Virtual Box route is simpler.
I've used the multiple IE, but it has javascript problems which aren't their in the normal version.
The IE team advices to use the Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Images. These are virtual pc images with different IE versions.
Supported versions:
IE6 on XP SP3
IE7 on VISTA
IE7 on XP SP3
IE8B2 on XP SP3
For other IE versions you could make your own virtual image.
