IE9 is actually good though, hell knows why microsoft bothered to actually try though considering everybody just downloads another browser anyway

IE9 being congratulated for conforming with web standards finally, something that firefox has done for centuries and done well. Not only that but it seems that the technology is so great that windows XP cant even run it, and seeing how many corporate organisations and slowcoaches still run XP for one reason or another IE is once again forcing developers to develop for their past shitty browsers regardless or lose out on a chunk of the market.
If you think apple is bad for forcing its restrictions on people, then just have a look at internet explorers history and cry for web developers.

The fuck are you talking about? I ran IE9 in Windows XP just fine, and one thing IE9 does that FF still doesn't is multi-core/thread support. So while IE9 can run on all 4 cores, FF is still running on one. Personally, I prefer Chrome, but I still choose IE over FF. Anyone who bashes IE hasn't used it since 2003. It's a completely different browser from what it used to be. If it had more extensions it would be on par with chrome imo.

I use IE everyday at work...
notice IE7 another big problem version released in 2006... so 2003 my ass.
...
Tell what you just said to any web developer and they will punch you for being plain ass ignorant and disrespectful.
(We are talking about standards compliant code here... IE still could not handle. Infact Microsoft has told us versions will act like standards compliant browsers for ages now and every time they have had massive hang ups requiring people to make ie only stylesheets and hacks, I could render a webpage better by hand than IE can).
PS: Id love to see what difference multicore makes rendering html and pngs ><

I'm talking about IE9 here, not IE7. My point is that anyone who bashes IE9 hasn't tried it, and the fact that you're still stuck on IE7 reinforces that point.
The mutli-core/thread support makes the browser more stable, especially when multiple tabs/windows are open, and especially when anything flash based is running.

I am not on ie7... you completely missed the point and spat out shite. I said finally ie9 is standards compliant and you come and say wtf ie has been good since 2003. I say actually no its not and show you why and you tell me well you were only talking bout ie9.
As a webmaster you do not develop for the latest version only, ie7 and ie8 will continue to have more users than ie9 because ie is mostly used in the corporate world and on people who don't care to change/update/download a better browser. I cant just say oh goodgame microsoft your browser works like everyone elses has for years now i can stop these messy hacks... no they have already poisoned the internet.

Also accelerators are absolute garbage compared to firefox's addon system.
Anyone who has anything to do with building for the web uses firefox... there is a reason for this. (Okay some use other browsers but no ie)

i know that, lol. microsoft is begging people not to use internet explorer 6: http://ie6countdown.com/
microsoft does a great job when it actually tries, too bad for the need for legacy support and that. @58,631 (wowaname !LSD69pSotU)

I didn't say it's been good since 2003, I meant that people typically haven't used it since 03, and it's underrated for that reason. I prefer Chrome, but IE9 is better than FF. People only use FF for the extensions, and Chrome has similar extensions. Take the browser flame wars back to 4chan.

A web dev does not choose a browser based on its standards compliancy.
A web dev does not consider a standards uncompliant browser in the first place.
So it has the bare minimum a browser should have... whoop dee doo.
