MS brings IE8 to the enterprise

Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) is now available via Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) for organisations that manage updates to systems using this platform, reports Computing.co.uk.

IE8 was officially released earlier this year, and offers greater compliance with Web standards than earlier versions of the browser. It also offers enhanced security features, and the ability for administrators to control some browser behaviour through Group Policy settings in Active Directory.

The browser is available on WSUS now for Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 in all supported languages.

Vonage's mobile voice over Internet Protocol app has been approved for use by Apple on the iPhone and iPod Touch, states CNET News.

Apple confirmed that Vonage's request for app approval was being held up by technical issues with the Vonage software. An Apple spokesperson said at the time that Apple was working with the developer to resolve the issue but would not elaborate on the nature of the issue.
