A handful of previous Softies who labored to the Microsoft Online Explorer group have launched a firm that's tackling the IE 6 migration difficulty faced by various companies.,Microsoft Office 2007 Key (http://www.office2010-key.in/office-2007-key)
The new Redmond, Wash.-based firm, Browsium, released on March 15 its first product, identified as UniBrows. UniBrows will enable “legacy IE 6-based Internet applications to run on Windows 7 (http://www.microsoftwindows7key.net/) and IE 8 on Windows XP without modifying a single line of code,Office 2007 Professional (http://www.windows7key.ca/office-2007-key),” according to the company’s Net site.
One of the main reasons that various businesses (in the U.S.,Windows 7 Product Key (http://www.windows7key.ca/), at least) are still running IE6 on XP is they’ve built internally-facing applications that are dependent on IE six. Microsoft has been encouraging customers, even those running on XP, to upgrade to IE 8 — but not IE 9, since Microsoft doesn’t support IE 9 on XP. But the upgrade process is difficult and costly. In fact,Office Professional 2010 (http://www.office-2007-key.com/office-2010-key), Gartner analysts dinged Microsoft last year to the cost of its IE 6 migration tools.
Browsium is touting UniBrows as a way for organizations to free up their Windows 7 (http://www.key-windows-7.co.uk/) upgrade path. The product makes use of an IE 8 add-on that enables IE 6 web applications to run in an IE 8 tab, enabling enterprises to upgrade PCs to Windows 7 (http://www.microsoftoffice2007key.net/windows-7-key) while keeping their legacy IE 6 applications running unmodified, according to the business.
“UniBrows delivers complete IE6 functionality and behaviors by using the original, native IE6 rendering,Office 2010 (http://www.msoffice2007key.net/office-2010-key), JavaScript, ActiveX and security design,” business officials said in today’s press release. Administrators can
create the rules and profiles for specifying which web applications should use the IE6 browser engine and legacy ActiveX components and which can use the IE 8 ones.
Browsium has been testing UniBrows with customers for the past six months, the release added.
UniBrows is licensed to organizations with 5,000 to 50,000 PCs with a $5,000 base license fee plus $5 per seat. Licenses, renewable yearly, include all updates and upgrades at no additional cost. Volume discounts are available. There’s a 60-day free evaluation kit available at www.browsium.com.
Browsium’s management group includes three former Microsoft IE execs: Matthew Heller, Browsium’s Founder and CEO; Gary Schare, its President and Chief Operating Officer; and Matthew David Crowley, its Chief Technology Officer.
