Information Services & Technology (IS&T) now offers full support for Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) running on Vista and Windows 7. Starting June 29, IS&T will deliver IE9 to machines subscribed to the MIT Windows Automatic Update Service (WAUS).
In collaboration with departments, labs, and centers (DLCs), IS&T has been testing IE9 since its initial release by Microsoft and has worked on resolving compatibility issues with various internal and external sites. IS&T has found that
To obtain a new MIT personal certificate, IE 9 users should run CertAid for Internet Explorer. CertAid for Internet Explorer is not needed for win.mit.edu domain users.
