At Teched yesterday the IE team revealed a little more about IE8 for IT Pro's. They are planning to make IE8 slipstreamable into images. Meaning updating your image to include IE8 will take 10-15 minutes versus the time it might take to wake it up and then re-sysprep.
To slipstream IE8 only takes 10-15 minute per image. You’ll also be able to slipstream IE8 cumulative updates so that you are shipping the most up to date and secure image.
Look out for a forthcoming post to learn more about Slipstreaming IE8.
Additional info shared about IE 8:
- adding new events to the Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) that help you detect and resolve potential issues between IE8
- providing Group Policy settings that help you control, with great granularity, those settings that most impact compatibility.
- IEAK8 will support custom IE8 builds for new platforms: Vista and Windows Server 2008 and new IE8 features like Activities and Web Slices
- We plan to include all of the above mentioned features in our Beta 2 release which is planned for August 2008.
