IE* now "fully supports" Microsoft CRM.  See what I did there? Argh, I give up.

"Fully supported"? See what I did there? Argh, I give up.

Microsoft apparently overcame its Beta version problems with Microsoft CRM, and released a fully supported version of Internet Explorer 8.  Download it at the link below!

My thanks to Matt at ICU MSCRM Blog for confirming its compatibility.  The beta version of IE8 would break the CRM workflow configuration screen, thereby making my job a lot more difficult.

Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2

Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2

Lately the big news in the browser world is that Microsoft recently released beta version 2 of Internet Explorer.  Since it’s still in its beta version, there’s bound to be some applications and websites that it does not yet support. Unfortunately, that includes Microsoft Dynamics CRM (for now).

Martin Jenson of the Dynamics CRM Team recommends that CRM users “do not install Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 on any machine used to access any version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM.”

In conclusion, the better scenario right now is to wait until Internet Explorer 8 goes RTM (Release To Market), after Microsoft has ironed out the compatibility issues.

UPDATE:  My installed version of IE8 Beta 2 renders CRM 4.0 just fine on my workstation.  See below for a screenshot of the Settings page.

IE8 Beta 2 works with CRM 4.0, but is likely not supported until the RTM version.
