Just what has Microsoft been doing for IE 7?
Jeff Reifman writes "Last week, Windows columnist Paul Thurrott ripped into Microsoft for ignoring CSS standards with its upcoming Internet Explorer 7.0. "Microsoft has set back Web development by an immeasurable amount of time. My advice is simple: Boycott IE. It's a cancer on the Web that must be stopped. IE isn't secure and isn't standards-compliant, which makes it unworkable both for end users and Web content creators." With the redesign of my own site last month, I discovered just how non-compliant IE is with basic CSS: IE 52% vs. Firefox 93%. Is Microsoft purely incompetent and tone-deaf to customers — or simply counting on IE's non-compliance remaining a de-facto standard?"
That is because of Micro$hit and their god-damned tactics to force others to use other Micro$hit products. If you build a website in Frontpage, others must use Micro$hit Internet Exploder to view it properly. M$ also ties everyone into office as their formats don't render worth a shit on anything else. Micro$hit and any other closed sourced bullshit company needs to be outlawed in every fucking country. If it's closed source, they can find ways to monopolize not only the whole god damned software industry, but every other god damned industry as well.
