While many enterprises are still feeling the impact of the new IE7 on CMS and Portal implementations, Slashdot last week reported on some upcoming browser versions. It seems that work on Microsoft IE8 has already begun and we may expect it in 2008. Slashdot also reported on plans for Firefox 3 to grow to more than a simple HTML renderer. In related news, last week saw an outcry as it became public that the new Outlook 2007 will not use the usual IE-based rendering engine for HTML, but instead Microsoft Word. The limitations imposed by Word 2007 are mainly CSS related, but may break many of the nicely formatted newsletters that your CMS or Portal software automatically create now. Testing is ever important, but as I'll lay out in the new Portal Project Starter Kit you need to remember to plan and budget for continuous updates.
