slashdot said:Anonymous Cowherd writes "Paul Thurrott, a journalist that usually writes about all things windows related (and sometimes about Apple affairs too), made a call in a recent article to boycott Internet Explorer, due to Microsoft's approach (continued in IE7) of not supporting web standards: 'My advice here is simple: Boycott Internet Explorer. It is a cancer on the Web, and must be stopped. IE is insecure and is not standards-compliant, which makes it unworkable for both end users and Web content creators... You can turn the tide by demanding better from Microsoft and using a better alternative Web browser. I recommend and use Mozilla Firefox, but Apple Safari (Mac only) and Opera 8 are both worth considering as well.'"
I've never understood why whiny Firefox losers keep spouting out "standards compliant" BS against Internet Explorer. If 80% of the people you are designing a web page for view it with Internet Explorer doesn't that mean that Internet Explorer is the "standard" you should be building your page for? If you want to use an alternate web browser that's fine, more power to you, but the arguement of "it's insecure and doesn't keep to our standard" is just reed.
