Microsoft Windows 8 was recently released with Internet Explorer 10 as its default browser. Here's an interim update on our plans for certifying them with Oracle E-Business Suite.
If you've reached this article via a search engine, it's possible that a later update on our status is available. For our latest status, please check the Desktop Client Certifications section of our one-page Certifications summary.
Our current plans for Windows 8 and IE 10
We plan to certify Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10.2, 12.0, and 12.1 with Microsoft Windows 8 and Internet Explorer 10.
When will Win8 and IE 10 be certified with EBS?
Oracle's
Revenue Recognition rules prohibit us from discussing certification and
release dates, but you're welcome to monitor or subscribe to this blog
for updates, which I'll post as soon as soon as they're available.
Which
Windows 8 versions will be certified?
As of today, I expect that we will
explicitly test the Windows 8 Pro edition with Oracle
E-Business Suite. We expect that the results of these certification
tests will apply equally to the following editions:
- Windows 8
- Windows 8 Enterprise
- Windows 8 N edition
- Windows 8 Pro N edition
- Windows 8 Pro Pack N edition
- Windows RT
- Windows 8 tablet-oriented interface (formerly called Metro)
I would not expect the results of our
certification to apply to Windows RT.
What about 64-bit Windows 8?
Windows 8 is available in a 64-bit version as well as a 32-bit version. It is expected that we will certify the 32-bit version first, followed by the 64-bit version later.
What about IE 10 for other Windows releases?
Internet Explorer 10 requires Windows 8 or Windows 7 SP1. We expect to certify IE10 on those operating systems as desktop clients for EBS 11.5.10.2, 12.0, and 12.1.
We have no current plans to certify the E-Business Suite with IE 10 on Windows RT.
Any Early Adopter Programs planned?
No, we
don't currently have any plans to offer an Early Adopter Program for either Win8 or IE 10 with Oracle E-Business Suite. If that changes, I'll post an
article on this blog with a call for participants.
