    MS does have these enterprise tools handy and available.

    Just like Apple's and Blackberry's tools.

    1. Load your enterprise apps
    2. Your corporate Policies
    3. Even your desktop settings at work

    When you are done you log off and into your regular Hotmail username and the policy and restrictions go away. I love that option as my opinion of Active Directory and whole infrastructure of locking things doesn't scale down to mobile users (including laptops) that well. For example if the executive or sales person on the road needs to hook up the hotel printer to print his flight iternery he is screwed if you have an AD policy with a lock on userData in his profile. AD is designed static with the idea that the PC will be on a physical LAN in an office never moved. This solution locks it only when he logs in and he or she can log out and then install the printer driver or app you want and they are more isolated and wont mess with each other because of the walled garden.

    I am not saying I love METRO or think this is a great idea, but I see the logical MS is using after hearing angry sales guys on the road who have to drive to an office to plug their laptops in to get AV updates. Ridiculous!

    If previous reports of >$80 for OEM WinRT are correct, only Microsoft can reasonably afford to build low end Windows RT tablets, as the $80 becomes prohibitive software cost for low end tablets (where WinRT will compete). For Microsoft it is just inter-divisional funny money.

    How do HW OEMs compete with a $200 Kindle Fire (or rumored Google Branded $200 tablet) when saddled with $80+ OS?

    With MS doing this and charging licensing fees it will only make companies like Asus prefer Andriod tablets instead. No one wants competitors and to invest a lot of money and therefore risk to help someone who is actively stealing customers out.

    MS is turning into IBM of old in many ways. A former monopolist who lost its way after being cocky with new lower cost competitors while it focuses on bigger machines. The desktops and workstation are the mainframes of old in this parallel. We all remember what happened next and how IBM is not even in the PC market it created.

    Risc won.

    That Intel processor in your machine is not a CISC processor anymore. It merely takes ancient 8086 cisc instructions and internally translates them into RISC ones. THis is how the Pentium Pro became a true competitive beast to PowerPC in the 1990s. Sadly it also means you can't touch the hardware anymore if you write assembly as it simply translates them into risc.

    Also the icore series can predict the next instruction before it is even loaded and use math tricks to do the work guessing with compiler optimizations without actually loading the instruction in to compensate the 1/30th. THis is how Intel is killing AMD as well which its own branch prediction can't accurately guess the next set of instructions and execute them before they even load. THis is why a lot of extra bandwidth shoes little performance gain unless it is a server with a large load.

    MS did not choose to make it incompatible.

    The box model that W3C interprets was made after IE 6 was already in development. CSS was really new and no one used it besides for a simple style of font size or something dumb. This was in 2001 when web 1.0 ruled keep in mind.

    The rest are just bugs and dumb things like using doubles instead of floats to store pixel and decimals of data that lead to rounding errors in IE 6. IE 7 fixed some but they were so far behind they couldn't fix all. Microsoft admitted IE 6 was so insecure that it was paramount to not let hackers in first and we can fix the rest of the bugs in IE 8.

    I think yearly release cycles are the best and I left Mozilla after the 6 week upgrade fiasco. Even yesterday I started getting all sorts of errors as FF was updated to 13 and Foxit PDF reader was more dated and I use it as a plugin.

    It is more hell with corporate apps. My great hope is now that IE follows standards again that a newer browser wont bring hell like it did in the past. Many corporations are terrified to update it as a result of these bugs and standards changing.

    I hated IE back then but started using it around 2001 when the writting was on the wall. IE 6 was a better browser and hated the fact. But the web worked in it and didn't misrender and Netscape was not coming back. Yes I got hacked with it and had to reinstall XP with extra security settings when using IE 6.

    I did so out of choice as it was the only browser that supported CSS. It did AJAX and was ahead. Not because the blue E was on the taskbar. I kept Mozilla only because it was the only game in town in Linux.

    Firefox was not ready until 2005 before I could dump IE 6 and by then I was happy to do so. IE was just better before it was left to rot. The fact that IE has less than 50% marketshare and is declining still shows the bundling is not why it won.

    You are right and that pissed me off at the times too.

    However, Netscape still trailed on until it became outdated and bad. 1997 was the year IE truly became better and Navigator was stuck at 4.5/6/7 until its death in 2003. It stagnated for 6 years!

    IE got better and better.

    Hmmm sounds familiar. An old non standard compliant browser that is outdated sees a new competitor? IE 6 became the new Netscape and Firefox the new IE. Just like before it took 6 years to overun it. It was not just bundling. I tried to use Netscape as I used Linux but it was an inferior browser to IE 6 in the early 2000s. It wasn't until 2005 before I switched to Firefox full time.

    Not hard?

    I have a whole book on this topic with CSS seriously. The layout model is buggy, IE 6 will wrap text and sometimes boxes together, Ie 6/7 will put double margins. If you specify a pixel based layout old IE will use doubles to store the data leading to rounding errors, while other browsers store them in floats that dont have this problem. This leads to spacing differences as well.

    I am not a hardcore developer and just learning. Modern browsers can cut your workload in half with cool features that you do not have to imitate with Adobe Photoshop due to the lack of feature X. That saves A TON of time.

    You can have them degrade gracefully only if IE 6 and IE 7 followed the current W3C standards in which they don't. IE 6 was not bad when it came out but the way the standards moved since 2001 was not how IE 6 and sometimes 7 do things.

    Yes, something that is more time means you need to charge more. Time = money. The ones you hire from already charge you extra and I bet if you told them to halt IE 6 and 7 they would give you a discount. You just do not realize it.

    I am not saying this to bash IE out of ideology, but rather the facts. You can't have something smooth and complex like www.arstechnica.com work easily in IE 6 without major expensive effort and lots of hacks and tricks on a old browser.

    You do need to charge more for their time or you wont get anyone good and why should they work for free over a certain amount?
