    If they wanted to ship the best product possible, why wouldn't they just fork Firefox, or Konquerer? At least then they'd have better CSS/standards support, as well as better security.

    Nope and Nope.

    1) Visual Studio is a very poor IDE, the testing framework just doesn't work, the positioning for the layout is woeful. It has no stats and metrics and the available plug-ins are either expensive or rubbish.

    2) XAML/WPF/Avalon are proprietary versions of other much better standards based technologies. Go and take a look at IBM's WebSphere Integration developer and the likes of SCA and SDO and truly claim that MS are even close to matching Big blue on ease of use.

    Developer friendly Microsoft is a myth... except for people who think that a VB app is the top of the shop.

    Maybe they could get busy making it so Firefox doesn't freeze on flash sites like youtube?
