Quiz Microsoft's IE Team Leader

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the man-in-the-hot-seat dept.

About as timely an interview as you can get: Microsoft released Internet Explorer 7 last week, and today we're gathering questions for IE team general manager Dean Hachamovitch. As usual, please follow Slashdot interview rules when posting or moderating questions. We'll publish Dean's answers verbatim as soon as he replies.

      The question wasn't directed at you, idiot. It was an interview question for the IE guy.

    90% of the questions posted by slashdot will fall into one of two categories (or maybe both): 1) Why is Microsoft the Evil Empire and what are you doing to stop this (like using Firefox) and 2) What the fuck is up with your CSS support, dude?

  4. IE8? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you adopt FireFox 2.0 as IE8, your boss would be impressed with how much you improved the product in a very short time. My question is: would you take the extra time to remove CSS features from IE8? Thank you and God Bless.

    Most developers I've talked to said they're going to drop ACID because of IE7 issues.

    "Why are you so gay? And why do you allow IE to destroy the fucking internet?"

    This is an important question. We don't want people to view the average slashdotter as able to participate in a calm, reasonable discussion. We need to be viewed as zealots, collectively frothing at the mouth.

    I'd even like to see this question include just for humour.

    There's a built-in derogatory slant to your question.
    Of course it is!
