Re: Why is IE8 the absolute worst at the acid3 browser test?
When MS "develops their own standards" it usually means they are trying to lock you or vendors into their software.. like they tried with their Java virtual machine. If they developed their own web standards, it's unlikely that they would open source it or allow others to reverse-engineer it without the threat of a patent or copyright infringement lawsuit. You would have to use IE, and IE is not available anymore to non-Windows OSes, and they only release new IE versions for Windows OSes that are in mainstream support, which right now is only Vista for home users; IE8 for XP was released just before XP left mainstream support in April. Not everyone wants to use IE, let alone Windows... |
