Re: A couple minor hurdles to enterprise consideration

I was able to find a virtual machine running Windows 8 and the front page of www.gwtproject.org seemed to load okay. If you have specifics about what they saw and how to reproduce it, that would help.

That said, I think GWT would be a poor fit for a company that is mainly targeting IE8. If they're not using GWT already then it's probably best not to start now.

They have probably enabled compatibility mode in IE 8. Turn IE 8 into standards mode and I am pretty sure the gwtproject.org site will show up correctly (although not tested by myself right now)

GWT still supports IE 8 and I would guess it will support IE 8 until the end of next year. After that..well..that company just can't upgrade to the newest GWT release anymore.

Honestly, if that company does not yet have an upgrade plan for Win 7 (or newer) ready then they will have quite some other problems once MS stops publishing security updates for Win XP and IE 8 in April 2014.
