Congratulations, Microsoft. 700 monkeys at 700 computers spent 7 years and finally created the first ever original innovative feature for Internet Explorer.
I think I can agree with that. The big thing is, I don't confuse the current IE team with the old one. The new team really is trying to make a decent browser, and generally hate the legacy that IE6 left behind (mostly, the reams of poorly coded "web apps" used internally in all too many businesses that depend entirely on the non-standard behavior of IE6, which has made all too many businesses decide to not even bother upgrading because the developers for all those custom web apps are gone and most of them are poorly documented, if at all).
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
