Internet Explorer claims to be standards compliant (CSS 2.0), even after much buzz and blogging about it only being in the fifties, instead of being up around Firefox and Opera’s mid-ninety percent compliance mark. Is IE compliant or not? No matter where they actually are, many in the blogosphere still feel IE should be done away with. StopIE is yet another IE hate site, and offer alternatives and reasons why IE is the worse thing to ever happen to the web. No matter how you feel on the subject, StopIE at least made me laugh. I don’t know why, but it just looks like a overtly political site on the dangers of IE. The site is well-designed, but it seems that they are taking the whole thing a little too seriously. Sure, I would rather use Firefox, and it is my choice, but I wouldn’t so much as go on the offensive to stop the madness. Who knows, maybe torch and pitchfork wielding skills would rid the woods of the vermin. Maybe not.

Opera’s Håkon Wium Lie compares IE7 to Ford Pinto:
"They did a pretty good job in the early years when they had competitors, [but] as they more and more dominated the browser market - their support for CSS didn't really improve that much. And the last [major] release of IE was in 2001 and there were many important features from CSS2 that were missing. So they didn't put in the features that were needed - and secondly they haven't been fixing the bugs either. The IE team was starved, given no resources to fix these issues that people were struggling with. Any web designers will tell how much pain and grief IE5 and 6 have given them - and I think it's been a tremendous cost to society, all these intelligent people working on web design having to debug their IE7 quirk mode late at night in order to make it look reasonable in a second rate browser."

IE7 and standards compliance - Microsoft’s Chris Wilson charts progress:
"There were a ton of bugs from IE6 that were causing web developers a lot of pain - and we really wanted to nail those and the most requested features upfront."

Praise to the IE team for making an effort, anyway.
I think the Internet Explorer developers are starting to get it. They’ve been opening up lately and have expressed growing care for standards.

Who cares. Just another “I hate MS” fan letter ;D
