Article:
 Mozilla and Opera Renew the Browser Battle
Subject: Agree and Dissagree
Date: 2004-06-21 11:05:22
From: John Rutherford

As a web developer since the birth of "the browser", I agree there is a lot of merit in the content of your article. I for one am one that truly despises MS and everything it stands against (Read: innovation, quality and standards) "Go get'em tiger". As a serious developer I can say many of us feel the same way. The modern, standards compliant browsers are truly a pleasure to develop with. IE is not. Its lack of support for standards and the many bugs are a pain in the caboose. Not to mention MSs "we don't care" attitude towards fixing these long standing bugs. This costs companies time and money to work around. Note this plagued NS and Opera in spades in their early days.


BUT, I must agree with the previous comments. You should provide a less aggressive posture if you want people to understand what your article is all about. If I were an IE lover I would never have finished the read. As a Mozilla lover I was getting frustrated having to read through all the MS BS bloat to get to the meat of the article. The importance of the Mozilla/Opera cooperative is diminished by the MS bashing. You really have 2 different articles here. "WHAT" and "MS, Demon Seed"
