microsoft needs to divert some of that cash they blow on marketing and spend it on improving their product development.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Seriously, if they're indeed going to fix the insane loopholes, they should at least name the browser IE 12, no IE 7

Oooh....aahh...

Excuse me when I don't do the dance of joy ...you know my back is killing me.

Sounds like a sucky new version for web developers - nothing mentioned about improved standards support, which is the only thing I care about anymore where IE is concernedl I don't have to run it, but I have to build sites for people who do. :ick:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

If it still doesn't support PNGs then... uh... well I wouldn't use it anyway. But I'd be less likely to not use it if it supported PNGs properly. Slightly.

I assume you refer to IE. I agree - PNG is a very useful format (with far higher quality than gif) with bloody great alpha features,  but trying to code the alpha filter for use in I.E. is an act probably outlawed under the Geneva Convention.

Yeah like how about proper W3C standard support that every other browser implements.

Proper CSS2, XHTML, and XML support.  That'd be great.

I used to use IE.

Then I tried Mozilla....at first, it was confusing, admittedly, but after getting the hang of it...


IE was pwned. And you know what? IE 7 will be no different. It is going to get SO pwned when compared to Mozilla, it isn't even funny.

It's not a matter of resources though. The only field where MS has the edge is in marketing. It's a big edge admittedly but when it comes to technical matters the mozilla team have actually done a better job with much less in the way of resources.

And as I said, unlike last time they won't be sitting around doing nothing while IE7 is being worked on.

You might as well ask what happens if they bought all the oxygen in the world.

The source code to Mozilla is freely available. Someone else would just step in and take over.

Someone mentioned Microsoft's anti-spyware offering. I am really impressed with it so far - does a better job than AdAware and Spybot at cleaning out any crap that does get through, and the automatic protection stops IE from getting hijacked. Although I hasten to add it's not developed by MS, they just bought up GIANT.
