There’s a unique opportunity coming up next week. On Thursday, March 26th, the IE team will host the Internet Explorer 8 FireStarter event. This is a one-day conference with IE8 talks from John Hrvatin and other team members.
“So you already downloaded Internet Explorer 8 and love the Web Slices feature. But did you know there’s lot more to IE8 than just Web Slices?
Come attend the Internet Explorer 8 FireStarter event in Redmond on March 26th and learn why Internet Explorer 8 is the browser designed for the way your customers really use the web. Enhanced tools and options make it fast and easy for you to build add-ons or deploy in your organization. Learn about Accelerators, SmartScreen™ filter, deployment best practices, compatibility and migration issue, and much more…
This daylong event is targeted at both IT Professionals and Developers. Take a look at the agenda below and let me know if you have any questions.”
