    Microsoft's IE7 developers allow themselves a chuckle and think, "Ha! We've been on acid for decades."

    Yeah.
    I mean, my opinion would be that the browser should, like, make pages look really cool, even if they are really badly made, and do, like, lots of cool stuff.

    Why can't they do what I want? I mean, I made a web page, and it looks crap in all the browser I've tried.
