that being said IE8 is much better than IE7. it’s also supposed to be perfectly w3c standards-compliant, which is certainly a good thing, although that statement probably doesn’t cover the beta1.

If only Microsoft didn’t bundle IE with windows and essentially 50% of all users are too lazy or don’t care enough to change it. What a great world it would be if IE just disappeared, then again I hate IE. And the web development tools on FF are awesome.

It’s quite funny how an open source company like Mozilla can make a browser which is so much better than Microsoft’s IE. IE7 is painstakingly slow, and takes up a lot of resources. FF3 FLIES. how come Microsoft is taking so long to make another iteration of a browser which is so slow? Firefox 3 will be out in June. Microsoft really has to get it’s act together

ugh….i’ve still got too many users that are still on IE6 with every possible third-party toolbar created. i feel for the webmasters who must comply with whatever “standards” MS chooses to use/not use.

Somehow the bozos who set up Windows Update made it waaaay too easy to download IE 8 beta. My 74 year old mother, who has trouble enough working her PC, somehow got it installed. Now when I try to help her with something, I can’t take it step by step with her because I’m *not* putting any MS beta crapola on my PC (even for Dear Old Mom).
