So sad that MS can only sell IE8 through 'security features' instead of standards compliance.

- robryan 16y agoWell, the target audience is people on IE6. Standards obviously mean nothing to these people, the majority probably wouldn't get it even if the whole thing was devoted to standards, hell, the average firefox user probably doesn't care about standards. Focusing on how someone could come to financial loss by using a certain browser is a great angle. Money means something to everyone no matter how much they know about the internet.
- lkjhghjk 16y agoIE 6 was deliberately non-standard so people would be locked into the MS platform. A lot of companies developed internal apps and sites on this basis, so telling them that they have to spend money with MS again to upgrade it all because they were ripped off the first time - might be a tricky proposition.
