Of course the point stands that developers _probably_ still need to look out for IE6 users.
However, what the hell is Hank trying to say here? Is there a point to this blog post?
Is he suggesting that innovation should be halted simply because a large minority is still using outdated technology?
- marijn 18y agoExactly. All I could find in the article was vague naysaying. (Which, actually, seems to be the general tone of most of his posts.) Having a new decent browser that does a few innovative things is good. It won't solve the Internet's problems overnight, but it is clearly going to be beneficial on the long term.
- wmeredith 18y agoHis blog is called whydoeseverythingsuck seems like you should go in expecting whine over substance. Oh, and according to W3C IE only has about 50% of market share, which is a lot different than the 75% he claims. is there a more accurate source he's going off of, or is it hyperbole?
- netcan 18y agoWell the article was saying is that from a developers perspective, it is the bottom chunk of the market (IE6) that determine what he can or can't do, not the top. Assuming of course, that whatever he's doing needs to run on all computers.
