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.

ReplyDeleteOh, I also very excited, feel very safe with IE8 just because M$ said so. I'll tell my corp company to upgrade from IE6 smoothly, I'll install it under Linux. I won't look at the source code, M$ should be using the right technology already. I'll blindly trust what M$ saying and feel very safe. I'll hypnotize myself that it works faster, securer, lighter and easier to use.
ReplyDeleteThank you for highlighting this to me, M$.

Hey guys, I think that Internet Explorer is great, it only takes half a minute to load google with a 10Mb/s, it only takes a minute to open on this tri-core computer with 3 gigs of DD2 800 ram, and I can make it look just they way I want to (firefox must have stole the idea from them) not to mention that Firefox and Chrome are communistic, evil, nazi, browsers. Besides Chrome's interface is so cluttered, it takes up half my screen just to see the toolbar, while IE on the other hand is so minimalistic and convenient, THANKS MICROSOFT FOR GIVING PEOPLE WHO BUY YOUR GREAT OPERATING SYSTEM A GREAT BROWSER TO GO ALONG WITH IT, LONG LIVE BILL GATES!
ReplyDeleteIE is great providing you havent used an alternative.
ReplyDeleteTo the "author" of this article: Microsoft says Vista is great, do you believe that aswell?
LOL.
Everything that comes out of campaign "Get the facts" is a well crafted lie by some markettin morons of M$...sad to see that you are a victim of microsoft's viral marketing strategy
ReplyDeleteziplock3rd has got to be joking! With that configuration it should not take 1/2 minute to load google and a minute to load. Chrome's interface cluttered? Come on now! Chrome doesn't have toolbars yet WTF are you talking about?
ReplyDeleteIt is called...Irony, Jim ;-)
ReplyDeleteActually, it's called sarcasm... Extreme sarcasm, with slight exaggeration to the sarcastic-ness.
ReplyDeleteThe comparison graph made me feel extremely irritated... the truth may be fluid but... the graph doesn't represent even represent a fluid truth I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteHEHE ...
ReplyDeletebut what kind of comparison is this? This had to be considered only as an IE advertising spot.
ReplyDeleteWhat about speed and light-weight of IE? IE became slower and slower every new opened tab...
and what about customization? where are all the FF addons and GM user-scripts?
And what about Opera, Safari and other minor browsers?
