Re: Re: Why MS Won't Retire Browsers -- was: Interntet Explorer 8 beater 2

Wow, anyone could be mistaken for thinking you two were Microshaft employees... <tirade> Vista sucks because: * it uses far more memory than it should, even with the visual effects turned off * IE7 on Vista is more flaky than IE7 on XP FACT! * The registry hacks to get around the draconian limits on Vista are not easily applied for all users * It's a battle trying to edit what it thinks are system files, even if they're not * It doesn't really offer all that much over XP </tirade> And I even have one for IE7 if you really want to hear it: <tirade> * They've moved all the buttons around to a non-standard layout (hmm, remind me of Office 2007) * They changed the rendering method *again* * Still no support for some really standard CSS * For a browser with half the components in memory, it still takes too long to start up * More security holes than any other browser </tirade> I'd go on, but I don't want to write a university thesis...
