My attempts to interview Chris Wilson, Microsoft’s platform architect for Internet Explorer, appear threatened by technical difficulties even before the discussion begins. His temporary-conference-visitor speaker phone in Sydney won’t work, then my computer crashes just before the interview starts, which in the sub-planet of Vista I’m forced to inhabit means a ten-minute reboot time.
Although annoying, this seems a strangely appropriate way to commence a discussion about Internet Explorer, the world’s most widely-used — and thus almost inevitably most widely-reviled — web browser.
