Internet Explorer Not Dead Yet

turnitover writes "The future's not all Firefox, Deer Park and Camino, insists Microsoft. At its Mix '06 conference in Las Vegas, reports Microsoft Watch, company execs insisted that there's a bright future for IE. They not only distributed a 'layout-complete' build of IE 7.0, but offered hints about what the new version of the browser geeks love to disdain (yes, it will include ActiveX) will include. Also shown: tools to test IE compatibility. But with what? Standards or IE 6?"

Standards?

[Quasar1999]

I remember when the standards were defined by Netscape and IE, basically any new feature one implemented, the other copied, and voila, a standard... Whatever happend to that type of development? It benefited everyone. Now we have a bunch of lame ass intellects defining standards but not actually implementing them, resulting in any app that does follow these new standard features to have massive memory leaks, and hacked code to get it to work...

I want the old 'standards' war back.
