Most enterprises that are moving to Windows 7 are struggling with application compatibility issues, specifically IE8 compatibility for legacy IE6-only applications. Having a virtual IE6 layer helps mitigate that issue, but the end user experience would be greatly improved with the use of Symantec's Browser Selection Object tool.

Here's a silent video that shows what the end user experience is like with the Browser Selection Object in place.

Requirements:

• IE6 virtual layer (very easy to create with the published LDFs on the Connect site)
• Browser Selection Object tool installed

URLs used:

• www.google.com (homepage)
• www.symantec.com (IE6-only)

End user experiences/use cases covered in the video:

• User launches native IE8 and browses to an IE6-only URL
• User attempts to browse a non-IE6 only URL from IE6
