Is Internet Explorer 8 displaying pages in exactly the same way on Windows XP and Windows 7?

Question

Is Internet Explorer 8 displaying pages in exactly the same way on Windows XP and Windows 7 ?

Something I should know about differences in displaying web pages on IE 8/9 on different OS?

Answer 1

Since there are parts of the display that the browser gets from the operating system, there will be things that are displayed differently between Windows XP and Windows 7, even though the browser used is identical. The two examples that come to mind are form controls and fonts.

Answer 2

• I don't see any difference. In Windows 7 and Windows XP both open the webpages the same way in I8
