I had stacks of SSH sessions open, web sites and files, it was not the time for a reboot and I didn’t want it to decide to restart when I got up to make a drink.

A quick google search helped me out!  Running this command (from a run prompt or from within a command prompt) will stop the message appearing and allow you to continue working, uninterrupted and reboot when your good and ready.

Web developers of pages that work nicely in IE7 and nothing else can request IE8 to use IE7’s mode via the “http header/meta tag approach”. Hopefully this move will enable much better cross browser and developers of troubled sites will invest the time in becoming standards compliment.

A big thank you to the IE team for doing the right thing for the future of the Web.
