Is anyone running IE8 for production Lawson users? We had the IE8 update slip onto a few systems and are debating wether to roll back to IE7 or not. All I could find on the Lawson Support site was the announcement on 4/16/09 stating that IE8 is not yet supported. I have been running IE8 for several months on my own workstation with no issues in Portal or ESS/MSS. I's also like to hear about performance experiences - to me IE8 has a much longer load time than IE7, presumably due to the new features, tab handling, etc.

We are not but I have never heard any problems with running IE8 and Lawson. Would it cause any problems with support from Lawson? That may be one reason to roll back.

I can confirm there's IE8 problem with LBI. Although I never had problem with portal/ESS until we started to implement LBI.

Removing IE8 is fairly easy anyway, just add/remove program on IE8. Then it will revert back to IE7 or IE6.

It would sure be nice to know from Lawson where they are, I can not seem to get any answers other than it will be posted.  Our company is planning to go company wide with or without Lawson certifying and I am very nervous.

They are on record to support by end of November. You can use IE8, just force the IE7 compatibility mode for the site. I have used IE8 without any problems, except you do have to enable set the status bar update access option, just as with IE7.
Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!
