Microsoft Says IE Faster Than Chrome and Firefox

An anonymous reader writes "According to its own speed tests, Microsoft's Internet Explorer loads most websites faster than both Chrome and Firefox when looking at the top 25 websites on the Internet. 'As you can see, IE8 outperforms Firefox 3.05 and Chrome 1.0 in loading 12 websites, Chrome 1.0 places second by loading nine sites first, and Firefox brings up the rear by loading four sites faster than the other two browsers. Also, in case you missed it, IE loads mozilla.com faster than Firefox, and Firefox loads microsoft.com faster than IE, just for kicks.'"

MS isnt the "standard" at all... MS breaks the standards constantly and if you cannot manage to write browser independant code, then maybe you should get out of the business.

It's basically one of those when they prove that Windows is more ${YourMostImportantFeatureOfOs} than ${SomeOtherOsUsuallyGnuLinux}. News -1 redundant.
