This is indeed the question. Just wanted to highlight it, and make sure those on the users list have an opportunity to respond. All adopters: please please let us know if any of your Admin UI users are locked into IE 7. I do think we need to support IE 7 for the Engage Tools, but it would also be useful to hear if anybody disagrees with this. By the way, it's great that all those IE 9 bugs are resolved. (My extreme proposal during the team meeting yesterday to drop IE support was largely due to a perception that we had just too many unresolved IE bugs.) Thanks for working thru those, James, as well as doing this review of the current status of IE and IE Matterhorn bugs.
