Microsoft Abandons Internet Explorer 8 Development for Firefox 3

It wasn't intended to be a fanboyism IMHO, it was simply a joke. That's coming from an IE fanboy of all fanboys

I suppose it's how one interprits jokes, similar to blonde jokes, a club which I am a member of also

 

Hi

Sorry, my question was directed at Long View when he agreed with yxclark.

 

Good one Bubba, Thanks needed a laugh today

 

Just from one single personal perspective, even with some bias toward IE which runs contrary to conventional wisdom given the overwhelming popularity of FF.

Nothing would please some of us more than a very solid but snappy IE with basic protections preferably untethered from the main system.

And yet i still don't find the Logic in not trying this as both a show of strength and sign of control for the user's sake and IE's aka Microsoft's reputation toward a better end.

Obviously nothing from the past to present would indicate such a radical departure from the norm is ever expected of them IMO.
