What about Mac or Linux users?
System is built by Microsoft so Windows centric
Browsers fully supported by SP2007 limited to Internet Explorer for site owners. However will mostly work with e.g.
FireFox
OUCS version will support IE7 & IE8, Other browsers will work at member level
Own tests indicate Linux/Mac users can interact reasonably with SP2007
OUCS will upgrade to version 2010 as soon as possible – which works properly with more browsers and platformsSlide37
