Pardon me but it sounds like you're pulling excuses out of you ass because this is a job nobody in your department wants to do. Your execs see it that way too, most likely.
Seriously, what if (during a normal days work) your tech dropped a pc on somebody's foot... you'd be liable for that too, do you bring up the concerns about carrying pc's to managment also?
The company is liable, not the employee... they're obviously willing to accept the risk, so stfu and do your job. Not trying to be an ass, but still, there has to be something more important for you to worry about than this.
Seriously, by the time Vista comes out, I'll be using a mac (hurry up Leopard), even though I use XP right now.
Why anyone would willingly put up with MS's crap, from Vista, to IE 7 (oh, we won't support installing different versions on the same machine...) I've had it. This "tool" called windows does nothing but make my job as a web developer more difficult than it needs to be.
Want to know why it's $250 for tickets? Because fools will pay $250 bucks for tickets. That concert will be sold out. It has nothing to do with cd sales, P2P, starving artists etc.
So why don't they program firefox to render pages the same way IE does it?
Because that's not the standard. Firefox (and pretty much any other browser) follows the W3C recommendations closer than IE. IE is the crappy one. Take your frustrations out on them.
Considering IE7 will fix a good deal of bugs IE6 has, you may want to consider learing to code to standard as well... considering that "desiging the site for IE" now consitutes designing for 4 different rendering styles itself (5.01, 5.5, 6, 7)!
I'm not sure what kind of XML parsing you'd suggest they do on an image to have google maps qualify your strict definition of AJAX, but for 95% of the world, (those would be the not-so-anal people) it's a great example of an AJAX app in action.
Rest assured though, for your needs you can simply insert "Google Suggest" for "Google Maps" and life won't be so hard on you.

so funny, because it's so unintentionally true!
WTF?

Thanks but no thanks.
you know you could just turn your styles off right?

Supply and Demand folks. It ain't rocket science.
Blame the user, not the software.
No, No, NO!!!!
This is the problem behind 99.9% of all bad software development. Don't ever utter it again.
As he so obviously points out:
"Apple is a hardware company."
Modders, get the parent up to 5.
It's zero.
...which is slightly less than the number of legal windows copies on standard PC platforms.
Nobody.
Nada.
The dual boot option will be standard in Leopard, so they say.
...and making a spelling error 9 words in makes you what?
Same shit in all but name anyway.

What's more expensive, developer man-hours or an extra server?

Please tell me you confused windows 98 with 95... windows 95 ushered in the modern computer age...
I'm no MS fanboy, but if you think the millions of people using the internet would be there without 95, you've been smoking some good stuff.
...that lack of a consitution can sometimes come back to bite you I guess.
Mind you, it's not helping the US out much, when you can stack the courts and all...
...it isn't my congress. :-)
Seriously though, LoC doesn't work too well if you live in the rest of the world.
Ya know, they call it a "buzzword" for a reason.

um... in case you haven't noticed, google is updating those images on the fly... which is a textbook definition of how to use ajax...
A bunch of words that say nothing.
Just because Digg has it, doesn't mean Slashdot needs to post it.
Speaking of not putting your name to saying something stupid...
don't complicate matters with such trivial things.
If you consider the predator UAV a robot, this law was broken a long time ago.
you don't want to work there.
Seriously.
