Simon Willison: You mean there IS an IE team?
January 15, 2004 - 2:13am — bmann
Simon has a few things to say about Robert Scoble's meeting with the IE team. Funniest is his comment on how it really would be nice if IE could start supporting CSS and PNG fully one of these days:
…we want these issues to be fixed as soon as possible - so we can deploy sites that take advantages of these standards before the oil runs out and human civilisation disintegrates in to a mass of warring tribes more interested in cannibalism than visually appealing web sites.

Weak Excuses
the "we have to test it in 400 iterations" is a weak excuse. It's their own fault for integrating a web browser as deeply into the system as they did.
Konqueror with all its plugin's etc seems to be updated (rapidly so) without the inconveniences that MS seems to be implying.
Agree with the MS way; embrace and extinguish.
Long live Open Standards!
Long live Choice (not in the MS way)
Quack!
IE and NS
We have Bman hooked into Gordie's RSS feeds for admins tracking news stories and stuff. So this morning when I refreshed our RSS feeds and noticed this article.
The coincidence was that I had posted a blog about IE (well, IE 5) and their crappy CSS support, just last night.
My points are that IE broke CSS support to suit their needs to drive people away from Netscape. They would show web devs, the Microsoft way, and then wait for them to use it, thus breaking Netscape's browser.
