Why I’d like to kick Microsoft where it hurts… repeatedly.

If you didn’t know it by now, the cowards at Microsoft have decided to drop development of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer for the Mac platform. I am grateful that I no longer have to worry how badly IE is going to mess up my next design project, but I’m also pissed off that the giant spineless wonder decided to run at the first sight of competition. Yeah I said it.. Safari scared MS and they packed up their bag of tricks and headed for higher ground. BAH! I was looking forward to a longer battle between IE and Safari for the Mac desktop, but I guess that’ll never happen. I just want to know how many of you people actually still use IE. Isin’t the consensus that it’s not standards compliant, therefore it’s almost impossible to code for both IE and another browser without one of them barfing on your design. Furthermore, there is no tabbed browsing. How do you friggin browse the web without tabs? I, personally, would shoot myself if I was forced to go back to a PC, much less have to use IE as my browser. *GAH* Tell me what browsers you have gotten to love.
