Ugh, what do you think most web devs do? They stick to standards. Surprise surprise they "hack" for IE, unless they aim to severly limit browser compatability with arbitrary IE only code. (The latter of which occured when IE could be proclaimed the undisputed champ.)
Your argument would've held much more significance (chances are I'd have agreed with it)
before the surge in popularity of browsers such as FF/Opera that demand compliance, standards.
So no, the prob
is IE, and it's a prob that
can and
should be fixed. If some
users are fustrated with this prospect, I can only assume members of the IE dev team are also. The vicious critique IE recieves is no doubt heard by the team unfortunate enough to work on it. But without Microsofts say so, what can they do?
..And when IE
is overtaken by compliant browsers in the long run, we may finally see some sort of movement from the behemoth that is.
Will anyone really care by then? Dunno. My crystal ball is on the blink at the mo', however, if MS want IE to remain the dominant webrowser in an ever expanding market - it
must act very soon.
So yeh, the web standard may have been an issue, were we still pre-2004.
All IMO of course.

It does.
'tis a shame that;
a) Many
still don't know of alternative to IE/Won't bother with another browser when the current one they use is "good enough"
b) The majority of companies won't make the effort to install another browser on Windows based machine - there's no incentive when "one that does the job" is built in,
c) It's logical, meaning it'll never come to be. For the mass majority don't care for compliance, someting actively developed on, something.. better.

Funny, I thought he did quite the opposite. Spending millions on vaccinations for those in need IIRC. Oh wait, the whole bash Gate's thing? We still doing that?

FF 0.1 looked alot like IE6.
IE7 is also late to the playing field, hence these *new* features (read: features it was
missing)) appear to be MS playing "copycat." It's playing "catch up", quite a different game..
Oh look a the time, 03:15am. Hmm, wonder if I'll be a little less cranky when I wake up.
