(list everything but IE)" :) hehe I think people should just stop bothering to make their websites display properly in IE… just make them display “Sorry, you use IE so you can’t view this page, go download a real browser like … (list everything but IE)” :) hehe

Would you have preferred that I include Opera in my comparison even if everything I would have said about it would have been either made up or based on assumption since I have never actually used it?

If you had you'd understand why Dean is bitter. Additionally, Microsoft attacks Firefox all the time; have you ever heard their statement that Open Source is un-American? Or what about when Cliff Patterson said that Open Source is a Cancer? Or that Open Source can't sustain innovation? In the meantime, they (Microsoft) hold the most crippling patents that stifle innovation completely. Microsoft deserves every beat down served their way.

I'm not about defending Microsoft but against your attacking attitude. I just don't think whether you find what Microsoft is saying is BS or not they don't deserve the complete beat down you are serving here. Talk about a lashing... I hope no one ever attacks you the way you have done them. To be honest I am really happy with Firefox, not a Microsoft employee or fanboy.

Why not bash Microsoft over the bullshit claims they are making, do you honestly believe what they are claiming? Exploring all sides? So you missed the bits where I point out that Firefox and/or Safari do almost all the things that Microsoft are claiming they don't do? Just in case you missed the point, this post has nothing to do with Apple being perfect or not, its about IE and how Microsoft are using their marketing rubbish to fool people into think they are making the internet better place. They are not, and until they discontinue IE they won't. This "real world" you speak of, I'm assuming you've all used the better browsers out there like Firefox and Safari, you know, the ones that actually do all the things that Microsoft claims IE8 can do, after all your accusing me of not exploring all sides, so I'd like to think you have...

A little harsh, don't you think? I really hate reading the ramblings of what I can only assume is a VERY bitter man. There really isn't much reason to bash anything like this and not explore all sides. Is Apple perfect? NOPE! While you are praying the God of Apple the rest of us live in the real world. Get off your high horse, jack ass. WOW! A little harsh, don’t you think? I really hate reading the ramblings of what I can only assume is a VERY bitter man.

The "mythbusting" page is also quite humorous. It's pretty clear they're shittin' tacks and worried about losing even more market share. In many of the recent "browser comparison tests" flying around the web, IE8 isn't even in the list and there's an asterisk that essentially says, "IE8 is still so sucky that, given the graph's scale and IE's performance, it didn't even register...so we left it out."

Like you, I can't stand IE because we have to conform to it, it's rather insulting. Of course, as a freelancer I reap only one benefit--more development hours which equals more money. It's funny how the only argument for IE8 is that it's better than IE7, well thanks for spraying perfume on shit--I can still smell it and yet again I don't want to touch it. Awesome.
