Upgrade Internet Explorer before 1 October 2012

Our system reports indicate that one person in your organization used Internet Explorer 7 to access Office 365 between 15 June 2012 and 15 July 2012.

In March 2012, we announced that Office 365 will no longer support Internet Explorer 7 after 1 October 2012. After October, we will be delivering service updates that include new features which require Internet Explorer 8 or higher.
