Likely a legacy version issue. If running a RHEV version which requires
Internet Explorer, that means:

- Deployment of RHEV 2.x, which was released on 3-NOV-2009 and EOL'd on
1-MAR-2013; or
- Deployment of RHEV 3.0, which was released on 18-JAN-2012 and EOL'd on
5-DEC-2012

When measured against expectations of a modern hypervisor, either
version above would fall laughably short. To get a sense of the releases...

RHEV 2.1 (released 3-NOV-2009)
RHEV 2.2 (released 23-JUN-2010)
RHEV 3.0 (released 18-JAN-2012)
RHEV 3.1 (released 5-DEC-2012)   <--- this is when Windows requirements
were dropped
RHEV 3.2 (released 11-JUN-2013)
RHEV 3.3 (released 21-JAN-2014)
RHEV 3.4 (released 16-JUN-2014)
RHEV 3.5 in planning now

Thanks! Today RHEV /shines/ in security and performance. As time moves
forward, many RHEV subsystems are being integrated with OpenStack
services (e.g. neutron, glance in RHEV 3.4). The plan is to created
spanned subsystems between RHEV and OpenStack environments -- allowing
RHEV to participate in the development velocity of the OpenStack community.
