Hay I am not a winging Pom/limey my preferred browser is IE and my preferred search engine is Google. Why, because that is what I have chosen, I have tried others but prefer IE as a browser and Google as the search engine. The EEC gets up my nose interfering with my choice and well done Microsoft in offering a solution and hopefully satisfying the bureaucrats . The choice has always been there if you wished a different browser all you had to do was Google it.

My thoughts exactly... The EU is a bunch of whining, power hungry pansies.

It probably won't be approved until it omits IE from the list altogether.

I happen to think that the browser is irrelevant. it's a bit like arguing about who is making the pane of glass for your living room window. Who cares! What matters is the view .

All browsers have reached a stage where they are much of a much-ness. If only they could agree on rendering standards for HTML and CSS that is all that would be required. We’re close now and I know IE has been the worst offender for ploughing its own furrow but having used a number of browsers I haven’t seen any meaningful differences. The web sites I visit look the same and load the same,

Let’s stop branding IE users as lazy too. Perhaps they just don’t care. As for comparing Microsoft to the Nazis – you’re an *****!
