What are you talking about? IE5 and IE6 for Windows were awesome when they were released. They were way faster, more reliable, and more standards-based than the browsers of the day when released (like the NN4.7 shitpile). The last release of IE5 for OS X had one of the first usable CSS implementations, and some awesome UI innovations.
The problem with IE is not that it sucked, but that it was abandoned before hundreds of millions of users started banging on it.

- RyanMcGreal 17y agoAgain, that's because in the huge interim between IE6 and IE7, the other browsers caught up to IE and then pulled way ahead.
