Power and patch management: can now opt in and out via these instructions
IE Upgrades: XP is going to IE8; Vista/Win7 are going to IE9 this summer
Upgrading from XP: how can we help? MS is withdrawing support on 4/2014
myNebula is now part of your business toolset
Nebula Roadmap includes leveraging cloud space; supporting Windows 8, and others

Groups of computers will be upgraded to the latest version of IE:
- WinXP will go to IE8
- Vista/WIn7 will go to IE9
We're working with the Nebula Technical Users Group to plan the roll-out.
The assigned user of each computer will be notified a week prior to the change.
If your systems need to access the programs listed below, or can't tolerate an IE upgrade for other reasons, send us the names; we have a special back corner for them where browsers don't get upgrades, only patches.
