Microsoft confirms IE 8 will ship this year

IE totally irrelevant for geeks: Many computer-savvy people are forced to use IE at work, but once they get home they do everything on Firefox. For the home desktop, IE is increasingly irrelevant and visually unattractive. Once you've used Fox with its countless pretty themes and clever add-ons, why would anyone be insane enough to go back to IE? The User Agent add-on for Fox usually defeats those _IE ONLY_ sniffer notices.

Firefox advocates, a bit like Linux advocates, are very vocal and evangelical - which feeds the domino effect of people switching to Fox. The dominos will keep falling until M$ has a browser that can match Fox - which isn't going to happen any time soon.

As I run Linux and Fox 3.0.1 I suppose that makes me very evangelical. Hell... I used to have a photo of Stallman wearing nothing but a beard.; Posted by: Don Collins Posted on: 07/24/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
