Opera Claims Microsoft Has Poor Interoperability

Posted by Zonk on from the tit-for-tat dept.

Noksagt writes "Opera CTO Hakon Lie has countered the claims that Bill Gates made regarding Microsoft's superior interoperability last week. He points out their invalid webpages, MS's unwillingness to serve the same content to different browsers, IE's poor CSS support, tardy documentation and limitations of their XML format, and more." From the article: "You say you believe in interoperability. Why then, did you terminate the Web Core Fonts initiative you started in 1996? You deserve credit for starting it, but why close down a project which could have given you yet much good will? (Verdana sucks, but Georgia is beautiful!)"

    I think the Slashdot IT section's caption should be "Whats IT? IT is it!" as a most excellent homage to Faith No More.

    Seems like it isn't about putting an easy-to-use computer on every mans desk anymore. No no, now it's about putting _his_ windows computer on every mans desk, in every mans hand, mobile phone, game, and god knows what's coming up the abyss next. Can't you all see? The man's gone completely mad!
