02/03/2004: "IE7 2005?"

You have got to be fuckin kidding me?
According to kuro5hin* we'll have to wait until MS Longhorn comes out to get IE7!?! Fuck dem anyway.
It's not that I am exactly looking forward to IE7 it's just that it means until then we have to suffer with the vast majourity of web users using IE6.

Why is that a problem you ask? Because IE6 is shite! It is currently the worst of the latest version browsers i.e. with regard to standards compliency. It is a legacy of a bitter browser war that made life almost unbearable for website designers. We had to wait years for NS4 to die out (more or less there) and now we'll have to wait years for IE6 to die out, all the while real browsers like Firebird are streaking ahead.

According to my stats IE have about 84% of the internet user market..depressing.

*yes it's not exactly an authority on the subject but I decided to post this not before I head off and check the MS site. Slán.
