Wow, how crazy is it that every scientific study by Microsoft happens to prove the superiority of their products! What a lucky coincidence, since we all know they would never fudge the results.

- iamshs 13y agoTo be fair, the study's authors have made it clear in the study's pdf that it was commissioned on Microsoft's request and other requests that MS made and how the test beds were running. It looks fairly neutral and can be replicated. They do not make recommendations or conclusions for MS, it is MS that interprets study's results. If looked at power draw, the difference between browsers is small, but IE has an advantage albeit small. Also, the study was done by Kurt Roth of MIT-Fraunhofer Center for Sustainable Energy and looking at the pdf, it shows.
- lessnonymous 13y agoI have no doubt the study is legit and nothing is 'fudged' beyond their own presentation of the graphs and other things their marketing department have done to promote the study. The obvious truth is that Microsoft will only commission a study on something they've already proven to themselves internally. As will every other company on the planet.
