> Anyone here from MS care to explain why they continue to hold back the web and make us front end engineers work harder? Web sockets. Consider for a moment the issue with web sockets, and how the implementation was wrong, despite being put into browsers. Browsers had support for web sockets, and developers were developing for it. That obviously changed rather quickly. Microsoft's idea is not to support things before they are relatively stable and supportable. Basically, their idea is if they put something into IE9, they aren't removing support. That doesn't mean they aren't working on new features, nor are they preventing developers from adding it to their version of IE9 to test out the technologies. They call this "Site Ready". Basically, they feel the technology is ready for end users. Now, I'm merely providing the information they are providing to developers. Do not argue with me.
