Comments on: GVSU’s IT Policies http://they.misled.us/archives/586 Featuring rants unworthy of due consideration. Spell checked, but not proofread Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:32:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: bigred http://they.misled.us/archives/586#comment-12845 bigred Thu, 16 Nov 2006 17:33:47 +0000 http://they.misled.us/archives/586#comment-12845 As I still work for good old GVSU IT. I too can say i'm frustrated. I"m not sure which features are not working with IE7. We have been using that for some time in our own office and have never had a problem. On the defense of GVSU, they do not make "Blackboard". I put it to "Blackboard" to have fixed this problem already. They are to blame. IE7 has been in the works for months, they knew about it. Heck I was testing it in May. "Blackboard" released mini service packs throughout summer and I think they already did one this fall. Now your telling me someone couldn't put the "fixes" in by now. Thats BS and a stupid company then. .Net 1.1 should be on, because service pack 2 is on. I will ask people about that. They may have "taken" it out though. As I still work for good old GVSU IT.

I agree with the resolution issue. I believe it was you that sent me a tool to change it and anytime I was suck using a lab machine I always used it to up the rez. I have absolutely no idea what they were thinking with that one. The standard desktop image at work allows you to change it and to be honest it makes total sense. Regarding IE I feel really sorry for GVSU's student HD. They are going to get slaughtered once WinXP auto pushes IE7. HD's across the country are going to just get obliterated. IE7 is a small improvement overall from IE7 but for web based applications there are going to be incompatibilities across the board. Putting Firefox on a USB 2.0 and running the portible version was exactly what I did. Also just installing it on your student network space is a good idea as well.
