The times they are a changing. And that seems to be a good thing.
For a too long time, Mac- and Linux-users in General and website-developers in Particular told as many people as they could to
not use the MS Internet Explorer. The rise of
Firefox finally ate a good piece of marketshare away from the IE, and now – after the first ideas of putting a warning on the home page for IE users through notes about PNG-images not being displayed correctly up to the latest
too cool for IE campaign – Windows-gurus join the resistance.
Paul Thurrot, journalist for the
WindowsITPro-magazine and webmaster of the
WinSuperSite, advises in
his IE 7.0 review: (a good read btw)
"My advice is simple: Boycott IE. It's a cancer on the Web that must be stopped. IE isn't secure and isn't standards-compliant, which makes it unworkable both for end users and Web content creators."
Thank you, Paul! Even if Apple today announced
OS 10.5 Leopard, you made my day!
Rafael: Thank you very much, I was having a huge headache to solve the very same problem!
