The Minority Report

I continue enjoying snipping from george’s world today. He notes that Internet Explorer 8 is now a high priority update from Microsoft. I have updated servers today and noticed the same thing. Now the adoption rate of IE7 from IE6 wasn’t that significant at first but I don’t remember how they flagged IE7 vs. IE8. [...]

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it’s comforting to go to a website and see the familiar 2k/xp/2003/vista line that says the software you are downloading is going to run on the NT family of operating systems. On the other hand, Windows 2000 came out in 1999. That’s 10 years old [...]

I don’t know if you have used SVG style vector graphics. I have. A lot. I hate that no version of Internet Explorer supports this format (including the recently release Internet Explorer 8).

So the other day, Randall C. Kennedy (I hope he wasn’t drunk) of Infoworld publishes this article on a “reliable” rumor that IE8 is going to be the last version of IE. This is the setup clip: IE8 is the last version of the Internet Explorer Web browser. At least, that’s what I’m hearing through [...]

In an effort to improve Web users’ compatibility experience, Microsoft added a new, user-selectable Compatibility List to the Release Candidate test version of IE 8 that the company released in January. Microsoft describes the list — Version 1.0 of which includes 2,400 sites that don’t render properly in IE 8 (in other words, an “incompatibility [...]
