Well, then how come every other new browser runs on XP, with all the nifty new features like WebSockets, if it's impossible? Hint hint, nudge nudge.

- angersock 15y agoJust like git and GNU/Linux software, amirite? The amazing thing isn't that Firefox/Chrome/Safari run so well on XP--it's that they run at all. That they do so is more due to their status as hobby projects (effectively) than as paid products. EDIT: Note that I respect those other projects immensely... and that the truth is that their goal/motivation is different from IE. Consider, for example, that at the end of the day Chrome is a Google product, and in some way must tie into the advertising thrust of the company. So, it makes sense to try and make it available for as many things as possible.
