   I read that microsoft is having a new browser project Gazelle. Until now I'm waiting and see if it can really outbound other browsers in the market...

   It's so lucky that I'm using IE8. But I wonder why people don't upgrade their web browsers, it's free? Firefox and Opera is good choices, but I don't think they don't have weekness, so IE is good enough with me.

   Really, if you're still using IE-6, don't you deserve everything you get? Surfing the web with IE-6 amounts to purposely trolling for malware.

   Problem is many of us in the corporate world are required by management to stick with IE6 for compatiblity reasons with internal applications. This is a big problem at many large corporations which develope their own internal tools. I have been pushing for IE8 because of the IE6 compatiblity mode, but have been unsuccessful. On my workstation I was finally permitted to install IE7, I made us some story about needing it for a network management tool, but the rest of the PC's I am responsible are running IE 6 with no upgrade path yet discussed. It is sad and very frusterating from a system administrator view.

   We have a similar problem at work, but not nearly as serious. For the most part we use FF or maybe IE8 if the page won't load correctly in FF, but there are a few web pages we need to access for work that won't load correctly in anything but IE6. Very frustrating.

    hmm; this is a direct result of a poor management decision to allow IE* specific coding, when management should have asked

    "What is the W3C standard reference model?"

    which would have disallowed non-compliant coding practices.

    As a consequence, I.T. gets stuck with these kinds of issues when they should be moving into the 21 century.

    ahh jobeard dont gimme this crapp about management responsibility. The timeless difference between people who understand IT and people who manage, and are trying to act like they understand. ****-faced slobbers like you are making this word a better place through your fingerpointing techniques and told-you-so wisdom. These days all companies large or small face very basic questions of surviving and hence IT issues are getting pushed back on a 'we deal with this later' basis. People like you need to wake up and face the respn

    we all have opinions and you're welcome to yours.

    I gave you mine which was derived from working in the software industry for 37 years and watching uninform and technically incompetent 'managers' manage -- right or wrong is debatable -- but it's still my opinion.
