I like this one better:
People still use internet explorer? I thought that went the way of netscape.
I had a funny feeling this was a post from you. Acid3 isn’t all it’s cracked up to be as far as determining browser efficiency or performance. Since it is evaluating web standards there is a lot of Javascript testing. If the websites you frequent don’t use javascript there will be a skewed rating. Honestly in real world usage the numbers aren’t that different between IE8 and Safari. Hell the newest Safari 3.3.3 or whatever the Windows version is, talk about bloatware. The package is like 104MBs!!!! I though IE8.0 was bloatware and that is at something svelt in comparison at less than 20MB. Worse yet is Apple is slick with the try to trick you into installing iTunes or the Iupdater BS.
It's faster enough that I rarely use the others anymore.
Microsoft violates standards intentionally as an anti-competitive practice. Making its products as incompatible as possible with others is a way of forcing consumers to remain with Microsoft rather than choosing software on the basis of price and performance.
What did previous versions of IE score? But of course in the end it doesn’t matter, IE is the standard, if you’re making a web app that’s going to be in the Windows market you code to IE and might not even test on other browsers. Sure it would be nice if IE followed the standards so you could code to them and have your app probably work on many other browsers, but that’s not good for MS. Own the market and let everybody else be “buggy”, that’s the MS way.
