Microsoft Launches New "Get the Facts" Campaign
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.'"
Ok, so this may be a single case. But I once made an interesting animation using nothing but html, css and javascript (flash to play back an mp3). It worked perfectly on all browsers (firefox, chrome, opera, safari, msie 6 and msie 7). But it quite broken in MSIE8, the performance is absolutely terrible on my laptop (which is the only machine I installed IE8 on) which wasn't the case before. The animation contains movement of animating gifs, in IE8 they don't animate properly.

but a lot of the stupid posts attached to this article had 5 points, so down-modding them by 1 wouldn't have made much difference.
Also, it continues to become more and more painfully obvious that the new crop of Anonymous Cowards are WoW forum refugees; the least intelligent, educated, or mature community on the Internet, by a mile. The trademark WoWisms in their text are all there.
