BusinessObjects Upgrade: Windows Workstation Requirements
BusinessObjects XI 3.1 is compatible with the ITS-supported Windows browsers, Internet Explorer (IE) 6 and IE 7. However, there are a few workstation adjustments to make. For many, system administrators and desktop support staff in your unit will make these changes. For others, who either don't have desktop support staff in their unit or who want to run XI 3.1 on a home or laptop computer, you will need to make these changes yourself.
