It's a cancer on the Web that must be stopped.

I stopped using IE back during the days of IE4, but some still insist on using and developing for IE. No matter where you stand on using IE, you might find this article interesting.

IE 7.0 Technical Changes Leave Web Developers, Users in the Lurch

Paul Thurrott

Program Manager Chris Wilson revealed many of the technical improvements that Microsoft will add to IE 7.0 for its final release. Almost all the improvements are related to bugs in IE's implementation of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), an HTML-like technology that Web developers use to create Web sites. Many of these bugs aren't fixed in the currently available IE 7.0 Beta 1 release, Wilson noted. Wilson's post raises some serious questions about IE 7.0, not the least of which is this: If IE 7.0 Beta 1 doesn't include the fixes that most Web developers need, why did Microsoft release IE 7.0 Beta 1 only to a small group of Web developers and other testers, not to the general public as originally promised?

1. Boycott IE. Easier said than done but good advice. IE sucks.

Firefox has improved immensely. Netscape 8 is actually quite good and has good SSL support. Both implement CSS2 much better than MSIE.

The problem is that MS integrates its browser into the OS so tightly that its impossible for the average user to set up a stable system.

And just how will they break older websites by correctly implementing CSS standards? Even if that was a major problem, they never let anything like that stand in their way when there is a buck to be made.
