For once there is a good MS lawsuit to mention

Post by bitWISE »

MS sued 117 site operators who were phishing for people's information.

Heh. Zero replies. I blame the fucking pope...

I just read that MS plans to fight phishing with IE 7. Not sure how they are going to do that though...

I've switched to Firefox. Excellent, but they can do better.

yes, i have also made the switch. but unfortunately the majority of people browsing the web have not. thus i still have to write code that either works for both or is browser-specific through the use of a browser detection script. i wish all the browsers would just display every page the same. :icon23:

Seems like only a rumor, but it would suck if it's true.

thus i said "speculation" rather than stating it as a fact. this could very well change (hopefully for the better), but i wouldn't count on it.

i get the feeling that Microsoft wants to control their own set of web standards.
