interesting... I'm gonna read it!
I don't give a fuck that changing the engine is such a huge problem. Isn't that a 'feature'?
And they could easily've done that earlier, but nah, just do it quick and make it look 'user-friendly'. I want them to change that engine. I want CSS and CSS2 support, and W3c valid HTML! Tabbed browsing, a better name (that aint really important
), [F12] <-- everyone who uses Opera knows how good this is. and so on, and so on (in short: everything Opera has
)
And It really surprises me that there IS a IE team
What the Fuck have these guys been doing the last 2 years except for bug-fixing (and not even
all bugs! (lost the link, too lazy to search for it
)).
Reading it now!

Now, about the darn security fixes. These are tough. Tougher than it might seem on the outside. Why? Because Internet Explorer's engine is used in several different OS's. Dozens of different languages. Thousands of different applications. Changing one line of code in the inards of Windows means potentially breaking a large number of applications.
That is crappy! Then they
shouldn't've <-- how the heck do I spell that?? built it that way.. It's their own fault

Another thing that the commenters generally aren't thinking of is "how to get adoption." I keep pointing out that if we fixed the CSS and PNG issues, you still wouldn't be able to use those for years. Why? Cause consumers (and companies) really don't care about those issues and won't download a new version just cause you fixed one or two issues.
Well, it would be a step in the right direction! This is a lame excuse!
