Clashing Scores In the HTML5 Compatibility Test Wars
Andreas(R) writes "Microsoft has published a set of HTML5 tests comparing Internet Explorer 9 to other web browsers. In Microsoft's own tests, IE9 performs 100% on all tests. However, the Internet Explorer 9 HTML5 Canvas Campaign has published results that show that Internet Explorer gets 0% on all their tests." The results reported here are selected with tongue in cheek: "Therefore, we'll also present shameless results from tests which have been carefully selected to give the results that the PR department has demanded."
...with MS HTML# 5.0
93rd rule of Slashdot: No matter how obvious my sarcasm is, my comment will be taken seriously by someone.
In other news, something surprising happened.
Coming up next: are angry hobos stalking your Facebook account? What you don't know might eat you. Film at 11.
That's like saying slashdotters are 100% successful sexually.
If the tests that include the opposite sex are excluded.
You can come up with whatever perventage you want from those charts as some things (Video) might be deal breakers compared to others (MathML).
i avoid high schools to keep my perventage low.
I never deal in perventages, it just seems...well, a bit percerted.

I am sure Microsoft is able to become an inoperability leader.
Fixed that for ya!.
Yeah it's old, but it's good.
When information is power, privacy is freedom.
Where's Bad Analogy Guy when you need him?
We have a winner! :D

Discussion of test results
Based on the tests that we have performed, it is very clear that there is a very big difference between the best and worst browsers. Therefore we can only conclude that the results are valid and true.
Now if that isn't a rigorous application of the scientific method I don't know what is!
...that they benchmarked IE trunk against OLD versions of other browsers. They didn't even use Chrome 5.0!
Could happen to anyone!
Yesterday I read on Slashdot that Chrome 2.0 was just released.
Wait, Microsoft is Captain Kirk now?
Bald.. check.
Fat.. check.
Arrogant.. check.
Seems so..
It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding it.
His Analogy would hit that bullseye, then the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
Well, Bad Analogy Guy is kind of like a car. And the radio only gets two stations on AM, but there's an eight track with a copy of "Journey's Greatest Hits" stuck in it. If you look at it that way then this discussion is something like an eight hour drive from Tulsa, OK to one of the Portlands. I can't remember which one, but it's eight hours away by car. Now the car has wood grain paneling on the right side and some kind spray-on granite countertop on the left, so the driver can lean out of the window and chop tomatoes as long as the passenger leans over to take the wheel.
The rest of us are the two pedigreed schnoodles sitting in the back seat, trying to eat bacon and egg sandwiches.
Does that answer your question?
So Kirk's jilted speech - that's just him swapping out to disk?

Microsoft should shut up and ship.
