Microsoft’s Excuses for IE8
When I first saw Microsoft’s browser excuse comparison sheet, I had to laugh. Here is a quick quote:
Firefox and Chrome have more support for emerging standards like HTML5 and CSS3, but Internet Explorer 8 invested heavily in having world-class, consistent support for the entire CSS2.1 specification.
Dear Microsoft,
Thank you for putting out a waste of code that will, again, send web programmers into cardiac arrest. You should have had CSS 2.1 compliance years ago, with all other popular browsers. The reason programmer’s don’t use CSS3 is because CSS3 isn’t supported by Internet Explorer, essentially making IE8 the new IE6: a turd.

on December 6, 2009Internet Explorer 8 seems to be better than any previous version of IE. IE8 is very stable and rarely crashes or cause blue screens.
