Yes. Microsoft continues to support its browser. As long as it's not XP. And as long as it's not IE6. Or IE7/8/9 on Windows8.

Yes and enterprise customers like IBM hate Mozilla/open source so much that they endorse Mozilla Firefox over all other browsers:

But even properly supporting CSS2 and JS (And a bit of CSS3 too) is a huge step forward in the IE world.

lol. Yep. Pulling Microsoft forward, kicking and screaming all the way. Microsoft always holds back the web.

Heh, my first thought on reading this yesterday, "Oh great, Microsoft just committed to holding back the Internet for another ten plus years" -> counting time for IE15 to be a total rewrite and rename ofc :-)

The real step forward only came in March 2009 with IE8, which supports pretty much everything you'd expect from a CSS-compliant browser (Although it does have a few problems, but nothing as major as in IE6/7). Things are definitely not at the level they "should" be, but rather than criticizing Microsoft for moving to slow, I would applaud them for moving *at all*. You catch more with honey than with vinegar and all that

I've had many an online battle with Chris Wilson who was lead developer of IE. He now works at Google and last told me, "If I was really in charge, things would have turned out a lot different (with IE)." I had such a heated exchange with the Microsoft guy in charge of SVG (I forgot his name) that I told him what orifices he could crawl into. Congratulating Microsoft is like congratulating GM on the great job they're doing in the car industry now that they've botched that all up and will forever be playing catch up...begrudgingly. That's how Microsoft does things. Cause they're losing market share, the internet as a whole and mobile in particular. They don't want to improve their browser but they have to. And they're STILL three years behind everyone else. Last edited by drhowarddrfine; 26th June 2011 at 11:20 PM. |
