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?"

    If you need to announce via a headline that IE isn't dead, then it's dead. Sorry.

    IE will always be alive and kicking so long as it has hundreds of billions of dollars... ;) Firefox will always be nothing more than an academic project so long as it has zero dollars. There are no exceptions in history.

    IE has 95% of the market share and even though Firefox is gaining market share IE shows no sign of going away. Yet the headline reads "IE Not Dead Yet". No fucking shit genius!! This is why I read Digg.
