How Internet Explorer 8.0 win the browser war easily again firefox and chrome?

Browser war has been going for a few years now. Internet Explorer and Firefox going back and forth in seeing which is the most dominant browser in the web world. It was proprietary against the standards. Looks like now Internet Explorer 8.0 has beaten Firefox and Chrome easily in all the features that one can list.

Here is a screen shot posted on microsoft website how Internet Explorer is better than Firefox and chrome browser.




This clearly shows how microsoft is committed to standards (write once run anywhere, your application is assured will be running the same according to w3c standards), developer tools (tons of plugins to enhance the feature of IE), easy of use (so easy even a remote villager can do it), security (no way hacker or malware get near), isolated tabs (one tab crash none of the other tabs crashes), performance (super fast), reliability (never crash), privacy (no information is compromised), customizability (you can make IE look the way you want), performance (it is blazing fast), compatibility (any site targetted towards is not broken at all, write once forget it) & many more ton of features.

It is a great news that IE 8.0 is going to be the most dominant browser of all times and developers nightmare of making a site work across browsers is over. Just focus on Internet Explorer and you reach 100% of world web population. Great job Microsoft. Also microsoft is so committed to HTML 5.0 standards that all proprietary technologies like flash, javafx, silverlight going to be in trouble. Let's start using only IE.
