Just compare IE 8 to IE 7. It's much better browser now. You cannot have an overnight progress. And as for me I would rather prefer having IE 8 released now than keep waiting for another year.
Besides I've never felt it's necessary to have a canvas support in Browsers. If you want a richer interaction within your application why don't you make it a separate download? You can use whatever programming language and runtime you like!
And don't tell me about installation hassle. Just try to install Chrome any other day. No questions asked, no admin account required! Your app can do that, too!
- ilaksh 18y agoLet me start by saying thank you very much for acknowledging and even responding to my thoughts. Apparently you were the only person who thought they were worth replying to. Secondly, you misunderstood me. I am NOT suggesting they wait a year to implement canvas. I am suggesting that they include one of the existing implementations (although they could probably do it themselves in about a week or two if they took advantage of the existing SVG code). Microsoft should then use their automatic Windows Update to deploy IE 8 to most XP and Vista machines. It is interesting that you feel the entire rich internet applications industry is unnecessary. This sort of comment makes me wonder why I even bother trying to discuss .. anything with anyone anymore.
