the MS browser
Honestly, I prefer FireFox, but sometimes, at work....
I have found the nexus of the crisis, and the origin of storms. And it uses Internet Explorer 7.
History
There’s some interesting stories out there about the push to build, coasting, and return to form.
Plus, the timeline is useful.
As is browser share usage.

Testing
Testing in IE7 mode in IE9 and IE 10? is close, but not close enough.
You really need IE7.
Like a hole in the head, but if the client has IE-7 shaped head-holes, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Not sure about IE8.

However, going to the registry (for HKLocalUSER not HKLocalMachine) and resetting AskUser to 1 did the trick.
working with Internet Explorer 7
