Seriously?
OK, it's probably a little bit better than nothing, but just barely.
Seeing as how many other major browser manufacturers have managed to make browsers work natively on several different platforms, why is it so difficult for Microsoft to do the same thing?
It's not like I want another browser, but I occasionally do need one for testing.
Second thing, why the F can't they make earlier browsers available? They may not want to support IE7 and <deity> knows I don't want to, either, but I don't have a choice in the matter. I'm stuck supporting their busted old shit and if I'm miserable, then they sure a hell should be, too.
- wlesieutre 12y agoAh, yes. Safari for Windows definitely paid off for Apple. Microsoft and Apple make browsers because they need to ship a browser with their OS and it's too critical a part of the platform to cede to some 3rd party. Redeveloping their browser for a whole different OS to serve a market of 5 people doesn't make sense for them. Not to mention, if they did have it running natively you'd just have to start testing both versions. It's the same deal with other browsers. You can't just say "Text rendering looks right in Chromium on Linux, so my website is done and I know it will work the same everywhere."
