Coincidentally, IE's Test Manager just posted on the IE Blog about how we've been dealing with incoming bug reports/feedback during IE8 and IE9. I would encourage everyone to read it, and submit pro-active, actionable bugs, especially the M

I agree, and it's not just Joel; there's tons of Microsofties that I know (me included) that are pretty active on news.yc, even if only lurking without real accounts/profiles, but on read-only mode.

Hopefully, IE9 won't disappoint - trust me, we're working really hard on it :) If you wish to share with me what problems exactly you're facing with IE, and I'm happy to hear you out. My profile page has my contact info.

But how many people knew of it, or use photoshop.com? I had never heard of it until now. Adobe's doing a pretty piss-poor job of marketing it if it is supposed to be a stand-in free web-based version of photoshop for people to do basic touc

It does say, "Google Inc.'s email services" - would that include Google Apps (free, pro) too? That sure would suck ...

Because local network admins in various big companies refuse to upgrade from IE6 since they depend on internal applications coded against IE6 specifically, and Microsoft does not control every single corporate LAN to be able to force upgrad

IE9 hasn't been released yet; or did you mean, a super early preliminary build in the early stages of IE9 development which probably has little to do with how the final product will look like? We haven't even shipped a developer preview rel
