Microsoft Launches New "Get the Facts" Campaign

Posted by timothy on from the grease-monkey-vs.-redmond-rhinos dept.

ko9 writes that Microsoft has re-launched its "'Get the facts' campaign, in an attempt to promote Internet Explorer 8. It contains a chart that compares IE8 to Firefox and Chrome. Needless to say, IE8 comes out as the clear winner, with MS suggesting it is the only browser to provide features like 'privacy,' 'security,' 'reliability.' It even claims to have Firefox beat in 'customizability.'"

    I use a program called SpiceWorks to monitor the network, run the helpdesk etc which makes heavy use of interactive content.

    I notice that the very last item is about performance.

    I can load up the entire inventory of my network in around 3 seconds in Chrome and Opera. It takes 11 seconds in IE8.

    Not fast at all.

    No, it's definitely about getting the facts. Just not all of the facts.
