I just got a report from NASA's systems admins saying they have approved IE9 for general rollout to the work force. The key paragraph:
"Beginning Tuesday, March 25, Internet Explorer (IE) 9 will be deployed to all ACES Windows computers. Not only does IE9 improve the security posture and comply with federal requirements, but it also has a new look and many new features.
While there are later versions of IE available, the EUSO and HPES must do due diligence in analyzing each version from a security and compatibility perspective to ensure the protection of NASA systems. The ACES team will continue to evaluate and roll out the latest and safest versions possible."
So I had to laugh when the article stated, "Some of the browsers we supported at launch just can’t be considered modern by today’s standards. I’m talking about Internet Explorer 9 specifically."
