13 reasons why Internet explorer rules workplaces!

A recent survey reveals that most enterprises still love to flaunt Internet Explorer as their default browser. Most of the security updates in the organization are for IE as well. Major reasons which could be attributed to this are:

  1. It is bundled with Microsoft windows.
  2. Most Microsoft office applications work better with IE
  3. Outlook Webaccess works better with Internet explorer
  4. Microsoft sharepoint services work with Internet explorer
  5. Its easier to put in admin policies for a non-open source browser
  6. Other software used in the organization are dependent on Internet explorer
  7. It gets updated with the windows updater
  8. Its “Microsoft” Internet Explorer.
  9. The admin does not know about Firefox or Chrome
  10. There is so much you can do with Internet explorer
  11. There are no Macs which run Safari or Firefox
  12. Users have trouble learning to use any browser other than IE
  13. The IT policy says so.

Let us know what you think in the comments..Should IE be the browser of choice in organizations?

Don’t forward

I have this thing against many blogs which primarily run only on the strength of forwards which they receive. It could also be of the fact that I have always been away from the habit of forwarding these mails (Fwd: fwd: fwd: 10 facts u didnt know about life, Fwd: fwd: read this….you’ll die laughing, Fwd: fwd: very interesting….don’t miss and many many more) Another plausible explanation could be that these mails arise from the blogs that created them or is it the other way after all. I guess it is the old chicken and egg conundrum…I really despise people at office forwarding such useless information to each other. If you are really interested in sharing language

  1. Share a link to the original author’s blog/page
  2. Write something original of your own (and please do prevent it from becoming a forward by saying so)
  3. Or best of all, blog

Forwarding mails is a way of life for many people who spent much of their office time doing it. I am not trying to be the most proper employee in the world, but then do spare a thought for the office network which has to carry all the clutter (the 1000s of photographs of cute teddybears, babies and what not). Since I am complaining about something anyway; I would rather advertise what I would recommend…Blog about something and send the person whom you want, a link (imagine the bandwidth saved – even if you forget the cost element involved)

Great. Now blogger has been blocked in office. Just in time that I switched a bit of my blogging to wordpress. Now I can’t blog till I get back home from Hyderabad; I guess this is what pushes people to send forwards. Well, then it wasn’t entirely useless that I spent so much time doing this transfer and setting up my items on wordpress and besides wordpress is good as well.

I started my own blog at the SAP network, but right now my posts are pending moderation which should happen in a few days (after all, the SAP network doesn’t let anyone blog just like that) It should be enough to satisfy my poor technological soul I guess till I get back home.

Updated: 0440 hrs 14th march 2007. My first post on the SAP network got approved and it is now an official blog. Since I cannot blog through blogger; I update via a feed to this blog.
