What users (and Web developers) hate about IE7
Published December 21st, 2007 in Browser Security, Internet Explorer, Internet Explorer 7
It was intended to be an innocent little blog post by a Microsoft program manager but it set off a firestorm of reaction from frustrated users, reports a story in PC World. The post (like so many made by Microsoft employees in their blogs) was intended to be a hip-hip-hooray for a Microsoft product. In this case Tony Chor was celebrating IE7’s one-year birthday by pointing out milestones for the browser.
But users got wind of the post and wrote back. They reminded Chor that Bill Gates had promised to upgrade the browser more frequently. Six years passed between the launch of IE6 and IE7, and now a year has passed with next to no news about IE8 (excpet a POSSIBLE release time in ‘08 or early ‘09, reports Softpedia).
