IDblog ... an information design weblog

July 02, 2003
Please, G*d, let it be true!

A ray of hope maybe :). Over on Brainstorms and Raves, Shirley is alerting folks to an article from the UK ZDnet: Will Microsoft's browser engine backfire?

Microsoft may have unwittingly started a revolt against its Internet Explorer (IE) browser by discontinuing it as a standalone product and blurring the future of the current version, IE 6.

How great would it be that after dealing with the feds and AOL that M$ shot themselves in the foot? Given this decision of theirs, it's nice to continue hearing great things about Safari, Opera (who are "committed to Mac" -- yay!), and Firebird.

One can only hope...
I've been usign Opera / Mozilla for a while now and cannot understand why anyone would ever even want to use IE. Also it's very, VERY annoying to have to adapt a site to work in IE when it already works fine the other browsers, just because MS doesn't care about standards. :-(
