Well - there are still some blockers for IE - especially IE6.

We already removed most of the JS errors that prevented the BE from working in IE at all.

Currently I am trying to make the system at least usable in IE6, because the performance is far from being acceptable.
Some of the forms take 30+ seconds to render (loading is done faster) due to heavy use of ExtJS and other JS based features.

I already made a patch (#14808) that makes the rendering of forms with datepickers and resizable textareas about 4 times faster, but there are still some other issues that make the BE ridiculously slow while working with IE6 on an average VBox with 1CPU at 2GHz and WinXP. htmlareaRTE for example is a real PITA.

So I guess we might not be ready for a final release yet.

Just my 2 cents

Joey
