Real standards

Mikael_z 10th Aug 2009

"That's important because Microsoft has of late embraced a standard-centric philosophy when it comes to what technology IE supports, and IE is of course the dominant browser on the market."

Microsoft has never been particularly keen on supporting real standards, they've always preferred their own formats to maintain their monopoly.

IE is the dominant browser? Who cares? If IE continues to be second rate, then the much better alternatives like Firefox, Opera and Safari will continue to gain more and more happy users. Great because it's only Microsoft who doesn't really like real and open standards and we need these standards to get a better Internet.

Leave the dirty competition and monopoly maintenance in the 90's.
