This argument only makes sense if we're talking about the release of IE7. But this is IE9! Doesn't IE7 contain this bass-ackwards compatibility? Doesn't IE8?

Doesn't IE7 contain this bass-ackwards compatibility? Doesn't IE8? Why must IE9 continue this? Tell people to use IE8 if they must, IE7 if they absolutely must, and IE6 if they're completely stuck. But do not curse yet another IE to be full of "get out of jail free cards" for lazy web developers.
- Rusky 17y agoThe problem isn't the backwards compatibility, it's the lack of features. If IE, the built-in browser for Windows, had correct support for HTML5 and CSS3, people would be far more likely to be using standards-supporting browsers, because IE users are more likely to upgrade their version of IE than to switch browsers.
