To be more precise, the reason the debug worked was that they integrated the software to do the low-level format into the ROM. debug was just used to invoke the software.
I know, that was why Web Standards Project was created. What was interesting was that it took the creation of competition from IE for people to finally care enough about web standards to start this project.
From what I read, it began with people taking up Mosaic in 1993 or so making HTML popular, but many of these people also designed webpages based on the display in Mosaic. <Hx> was abused to change font size, <DD>, <DL>, <BLOCKQUOTE>, and several other tags was abused for indentation, etc. It certainly didn't help that these tags looked cryptic to people unfamiliar with HTML. Then came Netscape introducing <CENTER>, <FONT>, etc. Netscape gained a monopoly effectively killing HTML 3.0 (that was in development as HTML+ since 1993). Then I think David Siegel invented using tables for layout and spacer images.
Yea, from what I read IE7's layout engine feels like a hack on top of IE6's. It isn't just CSS, BTW. Guess why the contents of OBJECT elements don't show up in the DOM in IE7? Clue: IE7 fixed the bugs where nested object elements were still initiates even when fallback is not needed.
And that there are many reasons why. Some of the problems can be easily fixed of course (for example the move to PR 2.0 fix a lot of the problems relating to companies), some not so easily.
Well, it is not really a fad started by someone. Anyway, personally I always try to do so whatever possible, but know in the real world that it is not always possible.
Yea, looks like this poster is mixing up WebP and WebM. jwz also compared WebP to WebM and Wave. While WebP is based on WebM, the purpose for creating WebP and WebM are different.

Also don't forget MS Forefront Client Security, their enterprise anti-virus solution. MSE is for home users and small businesses only.

Do anyone remember the old ISA hardcards?
Those 'designed for IE' labels weren't for show

I think the root cause behind MS's anti-trust crimes is the notation that business is war, which is of course flawed.
Windows Defender is for spyware I think.
FYI, at least nowadays that WGA notification update require acceptance of an EULA even if automatically installed. I know because I have seen it.
Parent was talking about worms that automatically spread.
Yea, disclaimers stating this is not the official opinion of the company dates back to the Usenet days.
I think that is what the statute of limitations is for.

I have an unpatched Windows 2000 machine behind a cheap Netgear router.
That is because it is behind a router that is an NAT, blocking the attack.
Yep, I think it is well known now that installing XP RTM and connecting it directly to the Internet without patching is not safe.
Yea, legacy PR based on control of the message is fundamentally flawed.
Yea, I remember the reaction of BN/Techrights when this deal was first announced. Then recently came the MS/B&N lawsuit.
Yea, they also made Windows Mobile and later Windows Phone devices, I think.
Even ignoring that (as I always do), bankrupting the company would be silly and probably not even necessary anyway.
Yea, unlike PPM and XBM, APNG is useful. It basically replaces animated GIFs. It is unfortunate that no other browsers support it.

Yea, I know about the invisible $UpCase file that stores the mappings.
Ergo, one reason the US has shitty Internet is because of the funny-money market.
Any idea how to fix this one? I bet the legacy MBA CEOs and the board of directors who hires them don't help either.
Yea, they were considering CP/M-86 from Digital Research (the creator of CP/M), but I think they failed at business negotiations with them.
