I don't hate Microsoft. But I don't exactly like them either. They've made some pretty piss poor decisions over the last 10 years that have had some huge impacts. IE6 was bad, but I can forgive their ignorance on that — no-one knew any better at the time. What I can't forgive is IE8, and the years since then that they've CONTINUED to make major-versioned browsers. If IE6 was a one off problem, it'd be fine. But with IE7, IE8, IE9, IE10, IE11, and new ones being released all the time, it just seems like MS don't realise it's a problem. No-one should be making browsers that don't silently auto-update at least once a month. It's physically harmful to the web ecosystem. I don't care how good IE11 is now, whether they've caught up or not, I care about them putting a system in place that ensures everyone always has the latest web technology. Don't tell me it's not possible. Google and Mozilla have had it sussed for years now. (Apple could do with sorting themselves out on this too. Could also see them go in this direction since Blink split off.) I can't help but think the version numbers are political? Some group in Microsoft trying to prove its worth by making a big deal about version numbers every year? "Look how much we care about the web, look at our new shiny browser. It goes to 11..." The web would be way further ahead if Microsoft had stopped making browsers years ago. Millions of hours are wasted every year testing websites in dead browsers. Microsoft created this situation, and they've still not adequately addressed it. Put your latest browser on everything you've ever made, stop calling out the major version numbers, release every month or so. That's how you'll get people to like you.
