IEBlog : IE7 beta 1 %u2013 A few details%u2026 — Good news.

Address CSS consistency problems. Our first and most important goal with our Cascading Style Sheet support is to remove the major inconsistencies so that web developers have a consistent set of functionality on which they can rely. For example, we have already checked in the fixes to the peekaboo and guillotine bugs documented at positioniseverything.net so use of floated elements become more consistent.

    I would have rather read the following: Our first and most important goal is to follow the CSS standard 100%.

    The sentence above is ambiguous.

    It’s not ambiguous at all. They will do what they have done: destroy anything that gets in the way of buckets of money for the insecure and wimpy bullies that run Microsoft.

    Microsoft– faster than a speeding cow.

    Everybody should know that IE6 never complete support for HTML. They left out at least one element — the Q element for inline quotations.

    Had they implemented it, I guarantee there would have been quotes.google.com by now.

    Yeah, CSS should be fixed, PNG should be fully supported BUT WHAT ABOUT HTML ?!?!?!?!

  5. Teyecoon says:

    Good. Remain non-compliant and stubborn and continue to lose market share. Open-source means we don’t have to bend(over) to their will anymore. Corporate egotism has killed more industry leaders than anything else and yet they never seem to learn that proprietary isn’t always in their best interest.
