Here’s a little something I just got in the CNet newsletter. It’s a little old now, but pretty funny. In Dear IE, I’m Leaving You for Good, Robert Vamosi describes his unhappy breakup with old squeeze Internet Explorer. All I can say is, I hear you! Four years ago I was really excited about IE because it had all of these cool programming hooks, bells, and whistles. It really looked like a platform that a Windows programmer could build on, and to some extent that is still true. But once Netscape Navigator all but died, IE got all fat and lazy. No more sweet talk of new features, no more cool stuff, no more nothing!
Firefox is my browser of choice these days. I only use IE for Windows Update (because you have to) and testing web pages for compatibility.
