Comments on: Microsoft Names IE8, Bill Gates to ‘Look Into’ Transparency http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2007/12/06/microsoft-names-ie8-bill-gates-to-look-into-transparency/ Mon, 13 Oct 2008 11:41:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Scott Barnes http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2007/12/06/microsoft-names-ie8-bill-gates-to-look-into-transparency/#comment-578616 Scott Barnes Mon, 31 Dec 2007 06:15:14 +0000 http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2007/12/06/microsoft-names-ie8-bill-gates-to-look-into-transparency/#comment-578616 At times folks get emotional about technology, but rarely do they provide evidence to support such emotion. Instead generalised sweeping statements are made, opinions are rallied behind and in the end nothing gets resolved as where is the constructive conversation and when does it start? Molly raised valid concerns in a forum that counted. All I am saying is folks, you can take a negative attitude to a problem and nothing will get resolved in a manner that befits your intended resolution. Instead, email/contact the IE team(s) or folks you may or may no interact within Microsoft. Start the conversation...

So look at your site stats and notice that 90% of your viewers will be using that piece of crap. I'm happy for MS becoming a huge success but the problem is, that they really screwed up the web while making their billions. But they had a pretty serious problem on their hands. If you had a company that grew as fast as MS did, you would be holding on for dear life too. Sometimes great ideas such as theirs grow so freak'n fast that not even the inventors can keep up. It's just a tough situation we find ourselves in.

I simply stopped using IE as my personal web browser because it crashes all the time. Firefox is much more stable than that Microsoft piece of garbage.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM OVER THERE? Surely there's enough engineering talent to simply get -- it -- right! I hate IE.
