And the early reports are that it is dog slow and has trouble with AJAX style pages. Just like IE6 I guess. Meanwhile, Firefox2 is out and is kicking the pants off of IE7 in speed and web standards adherence.
Time for Microsoft to exit the browser game. They have no talent for it and I, for one, will no longer invest any effort into making sites work with it. Instead, I’ll be including a Get Firefox Now link on every page.
As to Scoble’s comment “If there’s a way to do AJAX that works well in both browsers, why not do that? The virtualearth.com team found some way to do that.” The answer is that it costs time and money and I don’t have any extra of either.
Message to IE team: Get faster! Get compliant! Or Get LOST! I have no time for you.
“Time for Microsoft to exit the browser game.”
I’m sure Microsoft is taking your recommendation into serious consideration. Haha.
I wonder how long the users will put up with being second class citizens.
